The reporting question: Does the cinnamon in your cupboard match this recall?

Match all identifiers

Distribution ran September 8, 2025–June 28, 2026 in Connecticut, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. This announcement concerns potential elevated lead; the absence of reported illness does not establish that a matching jar is safe. [2] [3]

Stop eating a match

Discard recalled product or return it to the store for a full refund, the company says. Its questions line is 1-516-437-3782, weekdays 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Eastern. Laboratory records and a measured lead concentration are not attached here; we cannot assess anyone’s exposure. [2] [4]
