Through product testing by the FDA and state programs, the FDA has determined that additional ground cinnamon products contain elevated lead levels and that exposure to these products may be unsafe. The FDA advises consumers to throw away and not buy these ground cinnamon products. The FDA is continuing to analyze cinnamon and review sample results received from state partners who have been continuously sampling ground cinnamon at retail for elevated levels of lead. This is the third public health alert this year for ground cinnamon. The FDA recommends recalls of nine brands of ground cinnamon products with elevated lead levels ranging from 2.03 to 7.01 per million (ppm). The FDA continues to work with states to test cinnamon sold directly to consumers at retail and to test cinnamon at import. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/more-ground-cinnamon-products-added-fda-public-health-alert-due-presence-elevated-levels-lead?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
