"FDA Discovers Chromium Contamination in Applesauce Pouches"

The FDA has found chromium, in addition to previously discovered high levels of lead, in recalled cinnamon applesauce pouches manufactured in Ecuador and sold under various brand names. While chromium is an essential mineral, the form found, potentially chromium-6, can be harmful. The CDC is monitoring cases of lead exposure linked to these products, and the FDA is still investigating the source of the contamination. Health experts suggest that the chromium may convert to a less toxic form due to the acidity of the applesauce, and there may not be cause for additional alarm, but consumers are advised to consult with healthcare providers if they have consumed the affected products.

"FDA Discovers Chromium in Lead-Tainted Applesauce Pouches"

The FDA has found that WanaBana cinnamon applesauce pouches, which were recalled due to lead contamination, also contain the heavy metal chromium, potentially the carcinogenic chromium-6. The levels of chromium found are over five times the EPA's limit for drinking water. While the health effects of chromium-6 in food are not well-known, symptoms of exposure can include abdominal pain, nausea, and organ dysfunction. The FDA is unable to determine the exact form of chromium present but advises parents of affected children to consult healthcare providers. No comment has been received from WanaBana, the manufacturer of the applesauce.
