Measure them,if they are a metric size there won't be any asbestos in them.

If they are imperial they will have asbestos in them however it will be very low.

I wouldn't advocate anyone touching anything asbestos however you could crunch them up and sprinkle them into your cornflakes the asbestos content is so low.

This is inaccurate and very bad advice. Just in case anyone else is looking for this information, I can confirm that metric tiles definitely CAN have asbestos in them in the UK, as the kitchen in my house had them, vinyl tiles, 250mm x 250mm. Tested positive for Chrysolite asbestos. House was built in 1981. Metric system in UK started in the 1960s, so it's not a guarantee.
