Toxicity to pets
Elderberry plants contain cyanide-containing compounds (glycosides) and irritant toxins (terpenoids). Ingestion of elderberry plant, uncooked elderberry fruit, or overdose of elderberry supplement results in vomiting and diarrhea, but the risk for cyanide poisoning is low for both livestock and companion animals.
