How about FBI..
These probably floated in from China.
That guys a father?
You have no idea what's in your food. There is no federal requirement to test for lead in food made domestically or imported into the United States. That means we're using our own population as test subjects. Only after more than 60 children developed lead poisoning was the FDA able to do something. Markets need government regulation. Want your children to live? You think a second Trump administration, focused on vengeance, will mandate testing so that cinnamon banned in Ecuador for having too much lead doesn't wind up on American grocery shelves? Want the train rolling through your town not to blow up in a toxic cloud of polyvinyl chloride because the Trump administration had rolled back an Obama-era safety requirement? Vote blue. Strengthen the FDA. Progressive policies work. Vote blue. Stop using human beings as test subjects. Vote blue. 💙💙💙
Is this only recent, because I gave my child these products even up to a couple years ago?
How do honestly KNOW that the applesauce caused that child's speech delay??? S9me vaccines can do that as well. Some genetic testing should be done as well.
if your child has
lead allergies …
I think Ricky used to be Rachel
Why not give your children fresh fruit?
Totally not trying to victim blame, but why would you give a baby this young this sugary, packaged crap? He deserves fresh fruit, slicked and blended.
I hope they and the other victims get the biggest payout. I’m so over America and it’s poison food.
This is disgusting.Because of the adulteration and contamination of foods in the past the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed.The book The Jungle was an expose of the meat packing industry.
Cassia cinnamon naturally contains a high amount of coumarin, a flavour enhancer that damages the liver in high doses. It is widely used in America even though it's banned in Europe. Ceylon cinnamon is a safer alternative since it contains only a fraction of the coumarin. It is also more expensive.
This Is Insane.
Your content is like a breath of fresh air.
My heart goes out to the families harmed. I'm so angry feeling that lead poisoning had been eradicated since the FDA took steps to ban lead in household paints and had folks and landlords carefully oversee its removal coast to coast. Somethings never change. Sad commentary on our current state of society.
Money worship.
Is it just the cinnamon flavor one ?or the brand in general?
Shame on the fda
