Why Lucky Foods Cinnamon Powder Was Recalled

The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets found lead levels above the FDA limit during a routine sampling program. Lead builds up in the body over time and can cause serious, sometimes irreversible, health problems. Young children are especially vulnerable to neurological and developmental harm; adults may experience kidney damage, hypertension, and cognitive decline.
