"Lead Contamination Prompts Additional Cinnamon Applesauce Pouch Recalls"

Two more companies, Schnucks and Weis, are recalling their cinnamon applesauce pouches due to potential lead contamination, following the previous recall of WanaBana pouches. The FDA has reported seven cases of adverse events in five states, and testing revealed "extremely high concentrations of lead" in the recalled pouches. Consumers are advised not to consume or sell the recalled products, and parents of children who may have consumed them should seek a blood test. Lead exposure can cause developmental delays and various symptoms, and the FDA is investigating the source of contamination and potential links to other products.
