Gutierrez Distributor Recalls El Servidor Corp Ground
Cinnamon Because of Possible Health Risk
Gutierrez Distributor of Passaic, NJ is recalling El
Servidor Corp brand ground cinnamon because it has the potential to be
contaminated with elevated levels of lead. Short term exposures to very low
levels of lead may not elicit any symptoms. It is possible that increased blood
lead levels may be the only apparent sign of lead exposure. Additional signs
and symptoms of lead exposure are more likely with acute exposure to higher
levels of lead or chronic exposure to lead. While lead can affect nearly every bodily
system, its effects depend upon the amount and duration of lead exposure and
age/ body weight. If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period
of time (e.g., weeks to months) permanent damage to the central nervous system
may occur. This can result in learning disorders, developmental defects, and
other long-term health problems. For adults, chronic lead exposure is
associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension, and neurocognitive effects.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
El Servidor Corp ground cinnamon was distributed to retail
stores in New York starting on January 14, 2024.
The product comes in a 1.5-ounce clear plastic bag. The
recall was the result of a sample analysis conducted by New York State
Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSAGM) that revealed the product
contained elevated levels of lead. The Company has ceased the production and
distribution of the product as FDA and the company continues their
investigation as to what caused the problem.
Consumers should discontinue use of the product immediately
and are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact the company at (973) 777-1851 Monday to
Friday 8AM-5PM EST.
