What happened

Galil Importing Corp has initiated an ongoing Class II recall for Lior brand Cinnamon Ground Seasoning in 90g plastic containers due to elevated lead levels. The affected product is identified by UPC 794711005484.

Who it affects

This recall affects Galil Importing Corp, retail distributors carrying the Lior brand, and food safety/quality assurance departments responsible for seasoning and spice supply chains.

Why it matters

A Class II designation suggests that while the health risk may not be immediate or severe, the presence of heavy metals represents a significant regulatory non-compliance. This reflects ongoing FDA scrutiny regarding heavy metal contaminants in spices, which may necessitate a review of third-party testing requirements for imported raw materials.
