FDA warns consumers to stop using six brands of ground cinnamon found to have high levels of lead
cnn.com/2024/03/06/health/ground-cinnamon-lead-fda/
Quick Glance: Recall of Contaminated Cinnamon
- Following federal health officials' warnings, several U.S. discount retailers have recalled packages of ground cinnamon due to high lead contamination.
- The recalls were initiated in response to extensive recalls last autumn of WanaBana and other brands of cinnamon applesauce pouches associated with almost 500 reports of lead poisoning in young children across 44 states.
- Concerns about the safety of cinnamon, a common spice in American kitchens, have been prompted by the recent recalls.
- While there is currently no FDA limit for heavy metals in spices, the American Spice Trade Association advocates for a lead limit of no more than 2 parts per million in bark spices like cinnamon.
