Overview
- Four brands were added in the past week — HAETAE, Roshni, Durra and Wise Wife — bringing the list to 16 labels with elevated lead.
- The FDA requested voluntary recalls for all identified products; 10 brands have issued recall announcements, and the agency has not reached Haitai Inc. for HAETAE.
- Measured concentrations span roughly 2.03 to 7.68 parts per million, levels that could raise blood lead with repeated consumption, especially in young children.
- Consumers are urged to stop using and discard the listed products, check pantries due to long shelf life, and consult a healthcare provider if exposure is suspected; most people show no immediate symptoms.
- The agency continues reviewing retail samples with state partners after updates on Oct. 8 and Oct. 10; products were sold through various retailers including Dollar Tree and Save-A-Lot, and no illnesses have been reported.
