A person milling cinnamon in Ecuador was recently found to be bulking out his output with stuff including lead chromate as a colourant. This found its way up into the manufacturing chain for apple sauce amongst other products. This is merely one example of food contamination which the FDA is meant to be guarding against. Unfortunately they are frequently stymied by our buddies in the GOP who hate ‘gummit control’.
yeah, watering down the product is also another possibility obviously, i was thinking about environmental concerns, there have been issues in the past of farms being next to heavy industry for example
the places cinnamon is grown tends to have higher lead amounts in the soil. could be that + old lead piping for irrigation is too much to handle
I don’t think this is true.
