Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) is listed in “Toxic Plants of North America” by George Burrows and Ronald Tyrl (Iowa State University, 2001) under the heading of “Genera of Questionable Toxicity.” “The foliage and fruit of various species of Symphoricarpos have long been suspected by some individuals to be mildly toxic to children and livestock,” but the authors go on to say that intoxications are rare and would probably be of minimal severity. Another book, “Wild Berries of the Pacific Northwest” by J.E. Underhill (Superior Publishing, 1974), says, “This is one of those berries about whom different authors seem to disagree. Some list it as poisonous, while others consider it safe to eat but not palatable.”
