(NewsNation) — Lucky Foods ground cinnamon, sold in 14 states, has been recalled due to potential lead contamination, federal officials announced Tuesday.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the cinnamon was recalled after an analysis by New York’s Department of Agriculture and Markets found elevated levels of lead.
The recalled product has a best-before date of Sept. 15, 2027, and “is packaged in a vacuum or modified atmosphere 40g pouch with a brown label indicating Lucky Foods brand at the top of the pouch,” the FDA said.
The recalled product was distributed to retailers in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas between April 11 and Sept. 1, 2025.
“For adults, chronic lead exposure is associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension, and neurocognitive effects,” according to the FDA.
No illnesses have been reported to date. Consumers are urged not to consume the recalled product, and can contact the company at (718) 444-5556 during standard business hours for more information.
