After finding high amounts of lead in cinnamon-flavored applesauce pouches recently, the United States Food and Drug Administration took their investigation a step farther, only to find startling results. Earlier in the year, they discovered that over 460 people had suffered from lead poisoning after consuming cinnamon applesauce pouches from the brands WanaBana, Schnucks, or Weis, leading them to continue a full investigation into the cinnamon industry. They discovered that six distributors of ground cinnamon have amounts of lead in their products, although it is thousands of times lower than what was found in the applesauce pouches. They found that ground cinnamon sold by LaFiesta (sold by La Superior and SuperMercados), Marcum (sold by Save A Lot), MTCI (sold by SF Supermarket), Swad (sold by Patel Brothers), Supreme Tradition (sold by Dollar Tree and Family Dollar), and El Chillar (sold by La Joya Morelense) contained lead, which can lead to severe neurological and developmental disabilities. It is extremely crucial that lead is kept out of the diets of everyone, especially children and pregnant women. The FDA has advised any consumer with any of these products in their home to throw them out immediately.
