The FDA is warning parents to test their children after lead is found in WanaBana fruit puree pouches | CNN
The US Food and Drug Administration is warning parents against buying a brand of fruit puree pouches for their children because they may have contain high levels of lead, the agency said.
Sounds like something wanabana should be paying for.
How does lead end up in apple sauce?
Older orchards are contaminated with lead arsenate from its use as a pesticide.
Watering the groves from cheap pipes.
Neglect?
I'm amused by the headline image showing the ingredients and nutrition panel of the packaging, as if that's where you are supposed to check to see if "lead" is listed.
Ecuadorian lead best lead
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The US Food and Drug Administration is warning parents against buying a brand of fruit puree pouches for their children after the snacks were found to have high levels of lead, the agency said.
Lead was found in WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches, which are sold nationally at multiple retailers, including Sam’s Club, Amazon and Dollar Tree, the FDA said.
“Parents and caregivers of toddlers and young children who may have consumed WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches should contact their child’s healthcare provider about getting a blood test,” the FDA said.
The issue came to light when North Carolina state health officials began investigating four children with elevated blood lead levels and found that the WanaBana pouches could be the common source of exposure, the FDA said.
Multiple lots of WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree were analyzed and North Carolina officials found “extremely high concentrations of lead,” the FDA said.
Exposure to lead can seriously harm a child’s health and cause damage to the brain and nervous system, slowed growth and development, as well as learning, hearing, speech and behavior problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

I'm calling conspiracy.....WanaBana is trying to make a new generation of lead-poisoned boomers. They make the best consumers.
