Recall notice

Canada

The CFIA announced the recall of Chen-Chen brand Dried Apricot North Almond Seeds products by Chevalier Star Trading Co. Ltd because it contains excessive amygdalin which may cause acute cyanide poisoning. There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.

CFIA advises consumers these recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased. Check to see if you have the recalled product in your home.

- Chen-Chen Dried Apricot North Almond Seeds (170 g). UPC: 0 20616 99366 4. Codes: Best Before: 12.MAY.2022

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.
