Some parents are boycotting "Peter Rabbit" over what they call "food allergy bullying"
Sony Pictures has apologized, stating that "food allergies are a serious issue"
(CNN)"Peter Rabbit" has found itself in the middle of a food allergy controversy that has prompted some parents to boycott the animated children's film and Sony Pictures to issue an apology.
The uproar began with a bundle of blackberries.
One scene shows the rabbit Peter and his forest friends attacking their archnemesis, Mr. McGregor, by throwing blackberries at him. Mr. McGregor is allergic to blackberries and starts choking, having to inject himself with an epinephrine injector.
