El Chilar Rodriguez LLC of Apopka, FL is recalling 127 cases (12 bags/case) of El Chilar Ground Cinnamon “Canela Molida” (1.25 oz bag), because it may contain traces of lead. The product was distributed by La Raza LLC, 8795 D'Arcy Rd, Forestville, MD 20747, which distributes to... See More brick-and-mortar retail stores within the state of Maryland. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Short term exposures to very low levels of lead may not elicit any symptoms. It is possible that increased blood lead levels may be the only apparent sign of lead exposure. Additional signs and symptoms of lead exposure are more likely with acute exposure to higher levels of lead or chronic exposure to lead. While lead can affect nearly every bodily system, its effects depend upon the amount and duration of lead exposure and age/ body weight. If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period of time (e.g., weeks to months) permanent damage to the central nervous system may occur. This can result in learning disorders, developmental defects, and other long-term health problems. For adults, chronic lead exposure is associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension, and neurocognitive effects. Lead can cause serious health problems if too much is ingested, such as damage to the brain and kidneys, and can interfere with the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of your body.

The product can be identified by the lot codes D300 EX1024 and F272 EX1026, which is stamped on the front side of the packaging (see attached example).

The recall was initiated after the Maryland Department of Health collected product samples and analysis came back with elevated concentrations of lead. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem might be caused by potentially adulterated raw material from the supplier.

Consumers who have purchased El Chilar Ground Cinnamon “Canela Molida” with lot code D300 EX1024 and F272 EX1026 are urged to stop using the product immediately and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Parents and caregivers of toddlers and young children who may have been exposed to lead should contact their health care provider to report their symptoms and receive care.

If you are experiencing symptoms after eating this product it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist seek medical attention.

Company name: El Chilar Rodriguez LLC
Brand name: El Chilar
Product recalled: Ground Cinnamon “Canela Molida”

We all were nauseous, vomiting, diarrhea, fevers, body aches, and headache's for DAYS. I called today to inform them about it and I asked to speak to a manager. A lady got on the phone and I said that I got a Boston butt Saturday night, and she said oh god, hold on a minute, and put me on hold. When she got back on the phone she asked if she could take a message. I said no, I need to speak to a manager, is that not you? She said no. I told her about all of us getting extremely ill and she said “there were 7 of you”? I said yes, so I need to speak to the manager. She took my number but I have yet to receive a call back.

I decided to try this place out and I had their lunch special where you pick three rolls. I had the spicy yellowtail, shrimp tempura and chicken tempura. Im a regular sushi eater but I usually like to stick with the tempura ones. I’m guessing the poisoning... See More came from the yellowtail. After about an hour or so of eating the sushi I became very bloated and had a minor stomachache but then after time went by the pain progressed. I had terrible PAINFUL stomach cramps and diarrhea. It made me very gassy as well. Kept having to RUN to the toilet. The worst part was the pain in my stomach that would wake me up from my sleep, almost brought tears to my eyes. I almost felt like I could vomit from the pain alone, and from wanting this pain out of my stomach. Just when I thought the pain was gone and I released it all, a new wave of pain came flooding in.
