There is an easy way to test your cinnamon for lead.

Ask Superman if he can see through it!

Chocolate too!! Two things I love, chocolate and cinnamon! Luckily most of my cinnamon is eaten during apple season, but chocolate… sigh, the darker the chocolate the higher the risk and one of the brands I love was one that had higher levels. They are trying to clean up the chocolate and do more testing etc. I think most of the cocoa comes from a more limited area, cinnamon is found in many countries.

I don’t know of any. But the article I read about chocolate containing lead listed some companies as having high levels. I love HU chocolate and the chocolate covered almonds are a real fav of mine and some HU is listed. This isn’t the particular article but it is a more recent one

Yeah, it’s so sad :sob: Here’s a resource NYTimes shared when they reported on the metals in chocolate: Toxic Chocolate — As You Sow
