The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it’s winding down some of its U.S. response to lead-contaminated cinnamon applesauce pouches, which have sickened hundreds of children across the country. The FDA will continue to actively investigate how WanaBana’s apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches, which were recalled in late October because of high lead levels, became contaminated. However, much of the work the agency has done to ensure no one else buys the applesauce pouches has ended.
In February, according to the FDA, Ecuadorian officials identified a cinnamon processor as 'the likely source of contamination.' The processor sourced his cinnamon from Sri Lanka. The Ecuadorian officials said that the cinnamon sticks were lead-free before they were processed, and contaminated after processing.
