The FDA and other health agencies are currently investigating multiple brands of apple cinnamon fruit pouches due to Elevated Lead Levels. To date, 7 sick children have been reported linked to the consumption of these products from several states ( Arkansas (1), Louisiana (1), Maryland (1), Missouri (1) North Carolina (2), Unknown (1)). Report Date Ranges: October 17, 2023 – November 1, 2023. These products were distributed Nationwide in the US.
In an ongoing investigation that began in late October, the FDA in collaboration with North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) and other related agencies, have identified an alarming connection between the consumption of WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree and high blood lead levels. This probe was significantly initiated after 4 children showed elevated blood lead levels indicative of serious acute lead toxicity. Following this, subsequent lab testing has discovered high concentrations of the toxic lead in the tested WanaBana apple cinnamon puree pouches.
Further investigation into the outbreak has been handed over to FDA’s Coordinated Outbreak Response & Evaluation (CORE) Network to collaborate with state officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Two additional brands of products are also subject to recall: certain Schnucks cinnamon-flavored applesauce pouches and variety pack and certain Weis cinnamon applesauce pouches.
The affected products are:
- WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches. They were sold nationally and are available through multiple retailers including Amazon, Dollar Tree, and other online outlets.
- Schnuck brand cinnamon-flavored applesauce pouches and variety pack. They were sold at Schnucks and Eatwell Markets grocery stores.
- Weis brand cinnamon applesauce pouches (i.e., specific lots of UPC 041497216123). They were sold at Weis grocery stores.
Do not eat, sell, or serve these products. WanaBana LLC has voluntarily initiated a recall of all their apple puree products, regardless of the expiration date and lot codes. Furthermore, products like Schnucks and Weis brand cinnamon applesauce pouches have also been recalled. The FDA continues the investigation to identify the source of the lead contamination and whether further products are linked to this outbreak. Updates will be provided as they become available.
Primary symptoms of short-term exposure to lead toxicity include headaches, abdominal pain, and anemia among others; while longer-term exposure can escalate to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, tremor, and weight loss. Parents and caregivers are advised to be aware of these symptoms in children, who are particularly susceptible to lead toxicity.
