The FDA advises consumers to throw away these products and not purchase them, as they may contain lead levels ranging from 2.03 to 7.68 parts per million (ppm), which could be unsafe, especially with prolonged exposure. Consumers should check their pantries, as cinnamon has a long shelf life. For specific lot codes and best-by dates, refer to the FDA’s website. If you suspect lead exposure, consult a healthcare provider. No
