    Yeah, the company is from Ecuador and grinds spices for a lot of brands, not just US brands.

      So the article doesn’t say how it got contaminated, was it on accident or are they adding lead on purpose for some reason.

        If someone is doing it on purpose, lead is supposedly sweet. If not lead could be used in pipes or making of tools.

        I read somewhere a while back regarding the contaminated apple sauce, that it may be added intentionally since the ground cinnamon powder is generally sold by weight, and I guess lead is cheaper per gram than cinnamon? I believe there’s also a few ways it could become contaminated accidentally.

          Damn, if they’re adding it to increase weight that’s scummy AF
