No illnesses have been reported, and consumers are advised to discard or return the product for a full refund, the FDA said.
SLR Food Distribution Inc. of Hicksville, New York, is voluntarily recalling Wise Wife Brand Ground Cinnamon because the product could be contaminated with elevated levels of lead.
The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station identified the issue after evaluating the product, prompting the recall of cinnamon sold in 14 states between September 8, 2025, and June 28, 2026.
Consumers should identify the Wise Wife product by its 110 gram clear plastic container with a black screw-top cap, UPC 0688474302754, and best-before date of April 25, 2027.
