"FDA Widens Cinnamon Recall Over Lead Contamination"

Several U.S. companies have issued recalls of ground cinnamon due to elevated lead levels, prompting health concerns. The FDA warned of potential health risks associated with lead exposure, including high blood pressure, headaches, and kidney dysfunction. The affected products were distributed nationwide and in specific regions, and the recalls were initiated after sample testing revealed the issue. No illnesses have been reported, but medical experts caution that lead poisoning, especially in children, can have long-term developmental and neurological effects.
