Lior Cinnamon Recalled Over Elevated Lead Levels, Lot GAP11304

Galil Importing Corp. of Hauppauge, NY, is recalling Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning because it has the potential to be contaminated with elevated levels of lead. The product is packaged in 90 g transparent plastic containers (case pk of 6 units), with lot code GAP11304 found on the side of the container under the ingredient line, and UPC 794711005484.

The recall was the result of a sample collected and analyzed by Maryland Department of Health that revealed the product contained elevated levels of lead. The product was distributed to retail stores, grocery stores, delis, and supermarkets located in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida & Illinois between Nov. 18, 2025, and Sept. 7, 2026. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Based on the available evidence, this recall concerns the specific lot GAP11304, not the brand's entire product line. The file does not provide a comparison between a detected value and an applicable standard limit, so it cannot be determined whether the product exceeds a limit, nor can any conclusion be drawn about specific health outcomes. The evidence points to a recall risk of potential contamination with elevated levels of lead in this lot, which warrants continued attention.

Galil Importing Corp immediately initiated a recall and is notifying customers to stop distribution and sale of the affected product and place remaining inventory on hold. The company has begun a supplier investigation, and implemented enhanced testing and supplier verification measures to prevent a recurrence.

Consumers should not consume the product and should either discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
