TL;DR Summary

The FDA has issued a warning about WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches, urging parents not to feed them to children due to high levels of lead, which can be harmful to kids. WanaBana has voluntarily recalled the pouches, sold online and in stores like Sam's Club and Amazon. The discovery of lead contamination came after an investigation into elevated lead levels in four children in North Carolina. The company is working to determine the source of the contamination and advises consumers to return the products for a refund. Lead exposure can have serious health effects on children, including developmental delays and behavioral problems.
