What is this? This is a bag of organic brown flax seeds sold by Carrefour. They may have too much of a natural chemical called hydrocyanic acid.

What's happening? The company found that these seeds have more hydrocyanic acid than the law allows. They told people not to eat or use them.

Does this affect me? If you bought these flax seeds in France, this notice applies to you.

What should I do? Stop using the seeds. Take them back to the store where you bought them. Call the customer service number on the package. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel sick.
