Why Is This a Concern?
This recall is part of an ongoing public health alert for ground cinnamon products found with high levels of lead. Ground cinnamon is a staple in many households and is often used in everyday cooking and baking. This makes it easy for families to be unknowingly exposed to lead if the product is contaminated. Lead can be especially harmful to children and pregnant people, affecting brain development, learning, and behavior—even at very low levels. Since most children with lead poisoning do not look or act sick, parents should take these next steps to leave lead behind.
What Should You Do?
- Do not serve this product to your child.
- Discard the recalled product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
- Call your healthcare provider if you are concerned about potential lead exposure and ask about a blood lead level test.
- Questions? Contact the company at 1-951-444-7779 Monday to Friday, 10 AM – 5 PM PST.
Check your spices, discard recalled products, and share this recall with other to protect your family from lead exposure.
