Last Halloween, the FDA said that some cinnamon, a spice loved by many kids and adults, was contaminated with lead, a metal that can cause irreversible damage in babies and young children.
The FDA issued three health alerts about lead in cinnamon in 2024, after dangerous amounts of the harmful element were found in children's applesauce packets last fall.Last Halloween, the FDA flagged a worrying discovery: High levels of lead were found in applesauce pouches meant for young kids. Parents were alarmed, because the heavy metal can cause irreversible damage to babies and young children.
The agency believes the lead chromate was purposefully used as a color additive and categorizes it as a likely act of economically motivated adulteration, or While children absorb ingested lead more readily than adults,"The human body accumulates lead over a lifetime and normally releases it very slowly," according to the federalLead chromate's dangers are slightly different than those of lead.
The FDA says companies importing foods into the U.S. bear a legal responsibility to ensure the items are safe under U.S. laws and regulations.
