FDA expands lead warning to another ground cinnamon brand
The FDA added Lucky Foods Cinnamon Powder to a recall listing multiple brands with lead levels up to 7 ppm, raising concern for young children's health.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration expanded its advisory to add Lucky Foods brand Cinnamon Powder, following recent alerts that included DEVI-brand and BaiLiFeng-brand ground cinnamon.
- Testing by state programs and FDA confirmation showed the recalled Lucky Foods 40-gram packages sold in 14 states between April 11 and Sept. 1, following a New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets analysis revealing elevated lead.
- Industry guidance notes that Lucky Foods Cinnamon Powder in 40-gram brown‑label packages with a Sept. 15, 2027 best-by date are part of the recall, amid no FDA limit for heavy metals in spices.
- Health experts warn that children younger than 6 years are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can severely affect development, and lead accumulates in the body over months or years causing long-lasting consequences.
- A previous outbreak last year showed that the WanaBana cinnamon apple puree outbreak sickened more than 500 U.S. children and WHO found more than 1.5 million deaths were attributed to lead in 2021.
