FDA Warns Parents of Lead Contamination in WanaBana Fruit Puree Pouches

The FDA is warning parents not to buy WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches for their children due to high levels of lead found in the snacks. The pouches are sold nationally at various retailers. Exposure to lead can cause developmental delays in children, and symptoms include headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting, anemia, muscle aches, irritability, and fatigue. North Carolina health officials discovered the lead contamination when investigating children with elevated blood lead levels. WanaBana has voluntarily recalled all apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches, and parents are advised to dispose of the products immediately.
