The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to avoid more cinnamon products that have elevated levels of lead and could be harmful to a person over a prolonged period.
The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to avoid several ground cinnamon products that have elevated levels of lead. While the products don't pose the same risk as the recalled applesauce pouches, the FDA warned consumers that prolonged exposure to six cinnamon products sold in sticks and powder form "may be unsafe.
The FDA analyzed samples of ground cinnamon products from discount retail stores for lead and chromium after the WanaBana, Schnucks or Weis-brand apple cinnamon pouches, which were manufactured by Ecuador-based Austrofood, led to hundreds of lead poisoning cases in adults and children nationwide. The FDA said the level of lead found within the recent products is "significantly lower" than the lead that was discovered in the recalled applesauce products.
