WanaBana FDA warns parents after lead in WanaBana fruit puree pouches prompts urgent recall Children who have eaten apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches should be tested for possible lead poisoning after four kids in North Carolina were found to have high levels in their blood linked to the puree products, officials said. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning parents and caregivers not to buy or serve certain pureed fruit pouches marketed to toddlers and young children because the food might contain dangerous levels of lead. Children who have eaten WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches should be tested for possible lead poisoning, the agency said. Four children in North Carolina were found to have high levels of lead in their blood linked to the puree products, health officials said. State health officials analyzed multiple lots of the product and detected “extremely high” concentrations of lead. The FDA confirmed the results and said they could lead to “acute toxicity.”
I used to get all of the USDA and FDA recall alerts it would amaze you how many recalls there are every week.
