FDA Expands Ground Cinnamon Lead Alert to 16 Brands After Latest Tests

FDA-verified state tests found up to 7.68 ppm of lead, prompting recalls.

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.
