A New York food distributor has announced a recall of Wise Wife ground cinnamon due to potential lead contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The product was distributed across 14 states, including New York.
Lead is a heavy metal that can accumulate in the body over time. Because cinnamon is used in small quantities across a wide range of foods and drinks, regulators treat elevated lead levels in spices as a consumer safety matter rather than a routine quality issue.
