The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said cinnamon sold by stores including the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar contains lead at levels that could be unsafe for people, particularly children, with prolonged exposure to the spice. The agency urged suppliers to recall the products voluntarily.

Cinnamon products included in the agency’s safety alert include the La Fiesta brand sold by La Superior and SuperMercados; Marcum brand sold by Save A Lot stores; MK brands sold by SF Supermarket; Swad brand sold by Patel Brothers; El Chilar brand sold by La Joya Morelense; and Supreme Tradition brand sold by Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores.

Way more expensive than the dollar store, but worth it!

My in-laws got us a gift box from Penzey’s a while back, I’ve been using their sandwich sprinkle seasoning on grilled cheese sandwiches. Shit’s good. 👍

They have this thing called "Pie Spice" that is amazing on hot buttered popcorn.

There's another one called "Mural of Flavor" that makes creamy soups taste like Chicken in a Biscuit crackers. LOL.

People who are already buying their spices at the dollar store aren't going to be buying Penzeys, as good as their spices are.

Why are they getting a chance to recall "volunteer"?

If this is not good for human consumption then it should be removed period.

Our is this because this product will be bought mainly by poor people and fuck them?

The FDA, at this point, doesn't have the personnel or funding to force the recall.

I would imagine I could find lead contaminated cinnamon at any number of stores around here.

I used to live near a penzys, really great spices! And the owners are definitely Democrats!

That looks amazing, I'm buying some spices (for my already bursting spice cabinet)!
