"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.

FDA Issues Warning on Lead Contamination in WanaBana Fruit Puree Pouches

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned parents and caregivers not to buy or feed their children WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit purée pouches due to potential lead contamination. After four children in North Carolina were found to have elevated levels of lead in their blood, an investigation identified the pouches as a potential source of exposure. The FDA advises children who have consumed the product to get a blood test. WanaBana has voluntarily recalled all fruit purée pouches and is working with the FDA to investigate the source of contamination. Lead exposure can have serious health effects, particularly in young children, including damage to the brain and nervous system.
