Customers should throw away the products immediately, as consuming it could lead to elevated levels of lead in the blood, according to the FDA.
The agency recommended all the brands voluntarily recall their products, but has not yet been able to reach Haitai Inc., which produces the HAETAE-brand cinnamon.
As of September, no “illnesses or adverse events have been reported” in connection with the spice.
