"Lead Contamination Concerns: FDA Issues Nationwide Cinnamon Product Recall"

The FDA issued a safety warning about lead contamination in ground cinnamon products from several retailers in the United States, including La Fiesta, Marcum, MK, Swad, Supreme Tradition, and Eli Chilar. The products were found to have elevated lead levels, posing health risks, especially to children. Consumers are advised not to consume, sell, or serve these products and to discard them. The warning follows a recall of lead-contaminated cinnamon applesauce pouches, and experts suggest that the contaminated cinnamon may have originated from the same supplier.
