Consumption of Our Father's Farm brand Extremely Bitter Apricot Kernels may cause cyanide poisoning

If you think you became sick from consuming a food product, call your doctor. Check to see if you have the affected product in your home or establishment. If the affected product is in your home or establishment, do not consume, sell, or use it. Apricot kernels naturally contain amygdalin, which can release cyanide after being eaten. The human body can eliminate small amounts of cyanide, but larger amounts can result in cyanide poisoning, which could lead to death. Symptoms of cyanide poisoning include weakness and confusion, anxiety, restlessness, headache, nausea, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, seizures and cardiac arrest.
