I only found that cottonseed can contain gossypol which can be toxic when fed to animals in high amounts over the long term (cottonseed products are fed to livestock) but that the oil is refined to remove it.

I give Beaker dried apricots (from the Apricot King!).
He only likes the really squishy ones.
