Recent tests reveal concerning levels of lead in popular cinnamon brands, including those from Costco, with implications for consumer safety and health concerns.
Consumer Reports found that Costco's Kirkland Signature cinnamon has a lead content of 0.80 ppm, just under the 'Don't Use' threshold of 1 ppm.
Despite the absence of federal limits on lead in spices, the petition by Consumer Reports highlights the urgent need for regulatory recognition and action.
Many consumers remain unaware of the lead risks associated with spices like cinnamon, raising questions about food safety and the adequacy of existing testing measures.
