Yes Dan, the point is the pasteurisation requirement has nothing to do with cyanide poisoning. Only sweet alomonds are grown in the USA and sweet almonds do not contain amygladin.Sweet alomonds therefore do not need pasteurisation or treatment to remove cyanide and can be safely fed raw to birds/animals/humans.Bitter almonds are the ones that have cyanide.

 

Yes, I partially agree with you.

 

However, even though 99 percent are sweet almond. It is estimated by the USDA that 1% are bitter or a higher percentage may be contaminated with Salmonella. Thus ALL Almonds are pasteurized to ensure neither are passed on to consumers.

 

I fully appreciate all the great points you bring out and questions you ask. The are all relevant and interesting. :-)
