Ferrocyanide is not dangerous. Sodium ferrocyanide is used as an anti-caking agent in table salt. It's considered safe for this use in both the US and the EU, e.g.:

*ferrocyanide Less toxic than cyanide.

Potassium ferrocyanide: 1.6g/kg LD50 Potassium cyanide: 5mg/kg

So cyanide is approx 320 times more toxic.
