Bay leaves as the leaf, powdered or crumbled are completely safe to eat. They are great for flavor in quick dishes or soups and strews. A lot of the time they aren't served in the dish because the texture isn't easy to eat. There is a choking hazard associated with bay leaves. If they are crumbled or powdered, that is not an issue.

∙ 14y agoBay leaves are safe to eat, and are a very widely used form of herbal seasoning. But I will add that human digestive tolerances and Allergies vary tremendously from person to person, and there are very few things that are safe for absolutely everyone to eat. So chances are bay leaves are safe for you, but it is not a 100% guarantee.

∙ 15y agoNot that I know of. However, many people have died from choking on a whole bay leaf used in cooking. Evidently, a whole or partially broken whole leaf is soft enough to be swallowed, but can lodge in the windpipe, which causes death within a few minutes, if it cannot be removed.
