FDA recalls 16 cinnamon brands with elevated lead levels

The Food and Drug Administration is recalling 16 brands of cinnamon that contain elevated lead levels, which over time can cause neurological problems including learning disabilities in young children.

Contaminated products were distributed to grocery stores and other retailers across the country, including Dollar Tree and Save-a-Lot stores, the feds stated.

US food safety regulators are urging consumers to check their cabinets, since ground cinnamon has a long shelf life, and toss the tainted products. 3

The recall – which was initially issued in July 2024 – was updated this month to include four new ground cinnamon products from HAETAE, Roshni, Durra and Wise Wife brands.
