Food Safety Alert: Cyanide-Related Compounds Detected in Linseed Products
On November 28, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported regarding the detection of cyanide-related compounds in linseed products originating from the Netherlands. This alert has been issued through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), highlighting the potential risks associated with the consumption of these products.
The presence of bio-contaminants, specifically cyanide-related compounds, poses serious health risks to consumers. Cyanide is a highly toxic substance that can lead to severe health complications, including respiratory failure and even death, depending on the level of exposure. It is crucial for consumers to be aware of this issue, especially those who regularly incorporate linseed products into their diets.
Linseed, commonly used for its nutritional benefits, is often found in various forms such as seeds, oil, and dietary supplements. Due to the potential contamination, it is advised that consumers refrain from using any linseed products until further notice and guidance is provided by health authorities.
Food safety agencies are actively investigating the source of contamination and are working to ensure that affected products are removed from the market. Consumers are urged to stay informed and report any adverse effects related to the consumption of linseed products to health officials.
For more information, please refer to updates from local health authorities and food safety organizations.
