                                According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, eating rancid food typically does not pose a health risk, but can cause digestive symptoms. When we consider what happens if we eat expired seeds, the risks are often related to the seed's oil content and proper storage, rather than an immediate foodborne illness.
