Why Cranberries is safe

Plain fresh or frozen cranberries are safe in small amounts. The products are the catch: dried and sweetened versions and cranberry juice add a lot of sugar, and dried-fruit blends often contain raisins, which are dangerous.

Signs to watch for

None in moderation; too many can cause stomach upset

What to do next

Fresh or plain frozen only, and check the bag for raisins.
