The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received more reports of illness linked to lead-tainted pouches of apple cinnamon fruit puree marketed for children.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Friday it has received reports of seven illnesses in at least five states possibly linked to contaminated puree.

Two new companies, Schnucks Markets of St. Louis and Weis Markets of Sunbury, Pennsylvania, announced recalls of certain cinnamon applesauce products because they may contain high levels of lead. WanaBana of Coral Gables, Florida, previously recalled of all lots and expiration dates of its apple cinnamon fruit puree.

    Is it really that fucking hard to not have lead in the food you produce?

      Actually, yeah, it’s actually pretty hard when people in your country listen to mega corp propaganda to defund and dismantle regulatory agencies - because they are bad and liberal or some other stupid bullshit.
