I’m reading that lead can be added to cinnamon to enhance color or add weight, or both. The cinnamon seller was trying to make it look more attractive, or sell less spice for more money.
Lead is heavy and cheap, yes it’s for weight, same with tumeric
😂 😂 😂 Never buy cheap spices its literally cut with metals capitalism at its finest
Ah.
That’s…. Infuriating.
There’s a great book on the subject of food fraud called Sorting the Beef from the Bull.
It’s insane what people will sell as food.
It sounded like more of a ground contamination deal with cinnamon being particularly problematic. Do you think they are equally plausible or what do you make of it?
That’s probably what the FDA is investigating. Both options are possible.
