Advance Food International, Inc. located in Maspeth, NY, is issuing a recall of Shahzada brand Cinnamon Powder in 7oz packaging due to possible contamination with high levels of lead.
Short term exposures to very low levels of lead may not elicit any symptoms. It is possible that increased blood lead levels may be the only apparent sign of lead exposure. Additional signs and symptoms of lead exposure are more likely with 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 (e.g., weeks to months) 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.
Shahzada brand Cinnamon Powder was distributed to retail stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts from January 1, 2024, to May 24, 2024. The product was not available for purchase online. It was packaged in 7-ounce plastic bags under the Shahzada brand.
No cases of illness related to this product have been reported so far.
The recall occurred after an examination by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSAGM) found increased lead levels in the product. The company has halted production and distribution while the FDA and the company conduct further investigations into the issue.
Customers who bought Shahzada brand Cinnamon Powder 7oz are advised against consuming the product and should return it to the place of purchase for a complete refund.
