Schnuck Markets Recalls Select Schnucks-Brand Applesauce Pouches

Cinnamon in products may contain elevated levels of lead

 – Schnuck Markets Inc. has recalled select Schnucks-brand applesauce pouches because the supplier, Purcell International, has notified the company of elevated levels of lead found in the cinnamon raw material used by Austrofood SAS, the manufacturer of the applesauce cinnamon pouches. 

Lead is toxic to humans and can affect people of any age or health status. Protecting children from exposure to lead is important to lifelong good health. Lead exposure in children is often difficult to see. Most children have no obvious immediate symptoms. If there’s suspicion that a child may have been exposed to lead, parents should talk to their child’s healthcare provider about getting a blood test. Although lead can only be diagnosed through clinical testing, signs and symptoms of lead toxicity vary based on exposure.

Short term exposure to lead could result in the following symptoms:

Longer term exposure could result in additional symptoms:

Difficulty concentrating/Muscular exhaustibility
