These products include WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches, Schunks cinnamon applesauce pouches, and Weis cinnamon applesauce pouches. The recall stems from the FDA\u2019s investigation of dozens of acute lead poisonings in children that are associated with these brands of cinnamon applesauce pouches and the FDA continues to investigate. If your child suffered lead poisoning and you suspect it due to his or her consumption of these apple sauces, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases around the nation with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About Contaminated Cinnamon Applesauce Pouches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over 60 children under the age of 6 have tested positive for lead poisoning after consuming the applesauce in the United States. Some of these children have been found to have over 500 times the acceptable threshold for lead. Standard blood screenings, which are recommended by the CDC to reduce lead exposure under age 6, helped identify those children who had elevated lead levels.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods, Jim Jones, believes it\u2019s possible that the contaminated cinnamon applesauce pouches were intentionally tainted with lead. He\u2019s explained that the evidence points to an intentional act by someone who is part of the supply chain for the pouches, which were sold under three different brands made in a manufacturing facility in Ecuador. The FDA is inspecting that facility. He has suggested that perhaps the perpetrator didn\u2019t understand the pouches would end up in a country with strong, enforced regulations.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/fda-questions-whether-applesauce-pouches-were-contaminated-on-purpose\/#more-3187\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we\u2019ve previously related on this blog, the United States Food and Drug Administration has recalled three applesauce products.
