If you have one of those products, we think you should throw it away," the report from Consumer Reports states.

Cinnamon is a beloved spice that can be found in recipes across a variety of cuisines. Its warm and comforting flavor is a popular addition to everything from cinnamon buns to coffee and even some savory stews. However, a recent report from Consumer Reports showed that the pantry staple has been found to contain high levels of lead.

This month marks ten years for Marta L. Tellado as President and CEO of Consumer Reports — the singular and storied non-profit organization that works with consumers to instill fairness, safety, and transparency in the marketplace.

Elevated levels of lead were found in 12 of 36 cinnamon and spice mixture brands tested by Consumer Reports. There’s currently no limit set by the FDA for heavy metals in spices. However, the agency has set a limit of 1 part per million (ppm) of lead in candy likely to be consumed by small children.
