Issue
Evive Nutrition Inc. is recalling Evive brand Immunity
Super Functional Smoothie from the marketplace due to the
presence of raw elderberries, which contain cyanogenic glycosides,
a natural toxin.
The recalled product has been sold online.

Raw elderberries naturally contain cyanogenic glycosides, 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.
