Children's juice pouches recalled

The FDA said over the weekend it had received reports of seven cases of children in at least five states experiencing symptoms of lead poisoning, possibly linked to the apple cinnamon-flavored pureed fruit product, according to AP on November 6.

Two new companies have joined the recall list: Schnucks Markets of St. Louis, Missouri, and Weis Markets of Sunbury, Pennsylvania, which have announced recalls of apple cider vinegar products due to high levels of lead contamination.

Previously, WanaBana company in Coral Gables (Florida state) recalled all apple cinnamon puree products.

The FDA warns that ingesting products contaminated with lead can cause “acute poisoning.” The U.S. regulatory agency is advising parents and caregivers not to purchase or feed any recalled apple cider vinegar products to children.

The products are distributed by a variety of retailers, including Amazon, Dollar Tree, and at Schnucks Markets and Eatwell Markets stores.

The FDA recommends that children and adults who have used these products be tested for lead poisoning.

The investigation began in North Carolina, where health officials received reports of four children showing signs of lead poisoning after eating WanaBana products. State health officials analyzed several shipments and found “extremely high” levels of lead in samples. The FDA later confirmed those results.

The FDA is investigating the cluster of lead poisonings with assistance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health agencies.

Short-term lead poisoning can lead to symptoms such as headaches, stomachaches, vomiting, and anemia.
