1. Ground Cinnamon — Lead Contamination
The FDA has been expanding a public health alert since 2024 for ground cinnamon products containing dangerous levels of lead. Multiple brands have been added to the list, most recently in November 2025.
Lead is especially harmful to children — it can damage the brain and nervous system even at low levels. If you have ground cinnamon at home, check the brand against the current FDA list before using it in baking or cooking.
