Cinnamon sold in New York recalled after testing finds elevated levels of lead

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


American Spices, LLC. of Ozone Park, NY, is recalling Spice Class brand Ground Cinnamon because it has the potential to be contaminated with elevated levels of lead. 

The recall was the result of an analysis conducted by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSAGM) that revealed the product contained elevated levels of lead. The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.

Short-term exposures to very low levels of lead may not elicit any symptoms. Increased blood lead levels may be the only apparent sign of lead exposure. Additional signs and symptoms of lead exposure are more likely to be acute exposure to higher levels of lead or chronic exposure to lead. 

While lead can affect nearly every bodily system, its effects depend upon the amount and duration of lead exposure and age/ body weight. If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period of time permanent damage to the central nervous system may occur. This can result in learning disorders, developmental defects, and other long-term health problems. For adults, chronic lead exposure is associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension, and neurocognitive effects.

Spice Class brand Ground Cinnamon was distributed to retailers located in the New York City area between Dec. 1, 2023, and May 15, 2024.

Recalled product:

SPICE CLASS –  Ground Cinnamon 

  • Packed in 7oz and 11oz packing PET jars
  • Expiration date: 12/2026.

As of the posting of this recall, no illnesses have been reported to date.

Consumers should discontinue use of the product immediately and are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
