FAQ: What about hydrocyanic acid? Should the linseed be heated to deactivate the hydrocyanic acid?
First of all: there is absolutely no danger in feeding flaxseed to humans and animals in normal quantities - quite the opposite.
The EU has set a maximum value of 250 ppm of hydrocyanic acid for animal feed and pet food. You would have to feed approx. 1 kg/day to a 10 kg dog over a longer period of time to reach a critical level.
In addition, our special omega-3 flaxseed is dried to a moisture content of just 2-3% before it is ground. The effect of heat during drying significantly reduces the hydrocyanic acid content - this makes our linseed one of the highest quality products available on the market.
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is an important parameter and we check this very strictly before every import.
Storage instructions: Store in a cool, dark and dry place. Once the pack has been opened, it is best to keep it tightly closed in the refrigerator.
