Last week El Chilar HF, LLC expanded its March 2024 recall of El Chilar “Cinnamon Ground” (1.25 oz bag) because it may contain traces of lead. The additional lots of El Chilar brand ground cinnamon (LOTS: E-054, EX 0225 and D-181, EX 0624) have been recalled from retail and wholesale outlets. However, there is the possibility that consumers could have that product in stock at home. Consumers are urged to stop using it immediately and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Parents, guardians, and caregivers of infants and young children who may have been exposed to these products should contact their health care provider to discuss whether they should get tested for lead. Consumers with questions may contact EL CHILAR HF, LLC at 407-880-6007 during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST).
