To clarify, NATURAL almond extract contains oil of bitter almonds and enough cyanide to harm you if you drink a lot of it. IMITATION almond extract contains benzaldehyde, the compound in almonds that gives it it's favor and scent, without the cyanide. I like almond-flavored water, and I use imitation almond extract just to be safe.
Homemade almond extract can be dangerous to consume if not made properly. Bitter almonds contain cyanide, which can be toxic in high amounts. It is important to use caution and follow a trusted recipe when making homemade almond extract to ensure it is safe to consume.

If a baby consumes almond extract, there are potential risks, especially if the extract contains bitter almonds, which contain cyanide and can be toxic. Even if the extract is made from sweet almonds, it may contain high levels of alcohol or other additives that could be harmful to infants. Additionally, almond extract can trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. It's always best to consult a pediatrician if a baby ingests anything that could be potentially harmful.
There are different types of almond flavorings: 'Pure' almond extract is made from the oil of bitter almond and alcohol. 'Natural' almond extract also contains cassia bark essence.
