Do did the lead come from the machinery used to grind/power it, or from the soil where the trees are grown?

What other companies in what other countries did this company supply?
I just discovered those apple cinnamon fruit pouches because the snacks in the office pantry had them. They aren't the brands listed in the article though, but I'll probably avoid them for now.
Shoot, wondering if I should be avoiding cinnamon completely for the time being?
Probably depends if you can find out where the cinnamon you use comes from. I have the same issue with turmeric when the news came out that there was a high amount of lead in the ones that are produced in India. The problem is 90% (I think) of the turmeric in the world comes from there, and the korean curry powder I buy doesn't say where the turmeric is sourced from.
I am. These things have a tendency to grow, not shrink in scope. So we aren't doing anything with cinnamon for now. Thankfully we never used those brands and we didn't really have anything with cinnamon to begin with.
But it wouldn't hurt to avoid it for now. There are so many options to choose from its such a low effort mitigation.
