Food allergy advocacy groups say there’s nothing funny about a scene in the newly released “Peter Rabbit” film in which bunnies pelt a villain with blackberries despite knowing he’s allergic to the fruit. Some are even calling for a boycott of the film.

On Sunday, Sony Pictures apologized for the scene, saying in a joint statement with the filmmakers that “food allergies and are a serious issue” and the film “should not have made light” of a character being allergic to blackberries “even in a cartoonish, slapstick way.”

Controversy over the scene had sparked a #boycottpeterrabbit hashtag on social media, along with condemnations from food allergy groups and parents of children with food allergies.

I am beyond upset with @sonypictures & the movie Peter Rabbit. The movie promotes bullying others with food allergies to the point where the main characters purposefully cause another to go into anaphylactic reaction! How the hell is that funny?? #boycottpeterrabbit
