FDA Alert Concerning Certain Cinnamon Products Due to Presence of Elevated Levels of Lead
Following the October 2023 recall of cinnamon apple puree and applesauce products due to elevated lead levels linked to the cinnamon in those products and the concern for lead toxicity in children, the FDA initiated a targeted survey of ground cinnamon products from discount retail stores and analyzed the samples for lead and chromium.
Through this product testing, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that the ground cinnamon products listed below contain elevated lead levels and that prolonged exposure to these products may be unsafe.

The FDA is advising consumers to stop using and throw away these products. The FDA has recommended that the firms voluntarily recall these products and consumers are advised to not buy these products.
