Coriander is in the same family (Apiaceae) as parsley, celery, and fennel, and cross-allergy may occur in children sensitive to these foods.

Because whole coriander seeds are small and hard, they carry a risk of going down the windpipe/choking; they should be finely ground and added to food as a powder, and not given whole.
