SWAD Cinnamon Powder Recalled Due to Lead Contamination
RAJA FOODS LLC is recalling SWAD BRAND CINNAMON POWDER (3.5 oz) after testing confirmed lead contamination. The affected batch should not be consumed.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Lead is a known health hazard in food. Although this is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, the presence of lead contamination in a consumable food product represents a significant risk of harm to consumers.
