Galil Importing Corp of Hauppauge, New York, is recalling Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning because it has the potential to be contaminated with elevated levels of lead, the US Food and Drug Administration said.
Short term exposures to very low levels of lead may not elicit any symptoms, and increased blood lead levels may be the only apparent sign of lead exposure. Additional signs and symptoms 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 and body weight. If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period of time, such as weeks to months, permanent damage to the central nervous system may occur, which can result in learning disorders, developmental defects, and other long-term health problems.
The affected product, Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning (UPC 794711005484), was distributed to retail stores, grocery stores, delis, and supermarkets located in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and Illinois between 11/18/2025 and 09/07/2026.
The seasoning is packaged in 90 g transparent plastic containers, with a case pack of six units. The lot code GAP11304 can be found on the side of the container under the ingredient line.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
