Sweet apricot kernels of the Morgenland brand have been recalled because of high levels of cyanide.

The product, which originates from Pakistan, comes in 250g packs and its durability dates are March 22 and March 2, 2017.

Cyanide forms following a chemical reaction with amygdaline which can be naturally found in the pits of fruits such as apricots and papayas, in raw nuts and in plants such as lima beans, clover, and sorghum.

Ingestion of large quantities of such foods may result in toxicity.
