Wednesday, March 6, 2024

SILVER SPRING, Md., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is taking several additional steps to address concerns about elevated lead levels in cinnamon following the recent incident associated with certain cinnamon apple sauce pouches that resulted in lead poisoning in young children. Today, the agency sent a letter to all cinnamon manufacturers, processors, distributors and facility operators in the U.S., reminding them of the requirement to implement controls to prevent contamination from potential chemical hazards in food, including ground cinnamon products. The agency is also recommending the voluntary recall of certain ground cinnamon products sold by a number of brands at six different retail chains that were found to contain elevated levels of lead.

Key Points: 
  • The products currently recommended for recall contain lead levels ranging from 2.03 to 3.4 parts per million (ppm) lead .
  • Therefore, these ground cinnamon products do not pose the same level of risk to human health as the apple sauce pouches but could be unsafe for prolonged use.
  • "Food growers, manufacturers, importers and retailers share a responsibility for ensuring the safety of the foods that reach store shelves.
  • The FDA and industry share a common goal of ensuring the safety of food, but more can and must be done.
