More ground cinnamon products were added to a health alert because they contained elevated lead levels, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced this week.
On Tuesday, the FDA released a list of nine ground cinnamon products, including one sold at Dollar Tree.
"Exposure to these products may be unsafe," stated the agency in the release.
This is not the first time ground cinnamon has been added to a health alert in 2024. On March 6 and July 25, the FDA sent out alerts warning the public that seven other cinnamon products contained lead.
El Servidor, sold in Mannan Supermarket, contained the highest amounts of lead with 20 ppm(parts per billion).
No illnesses linked to the cinnamon have been reported.

What should consumers do?
Those who purchased any of the ground cinnamon products listed on the alert should stop using them and throw them away.
"Consumers should not eat, sell, or serve the ground cinnamon product listed..." stated the FDA.
Eating these products could contribute to elevated levels of lead in the blood. Babies and young children are especially vulnerable and are more susceptible to lead toxicity.
Those who believe they've been exposed to elevated levels of lead should talk to their healthcare provider. Most people do not show symptoms immediately after being exposed, according to the FDA.
