The lead contamination in recalled cinnamon applesauce pouches that potentially poisoned at least 65 children may have been intentional, the Food and Drug Administration said on Friday.
The FDA has been investigating the lead contamination in the cinnamon-flavored applesauce products from Florida-based food manufacturer WanaBana since October.
The agency has homed in on the cinnamon specifically as the source of the lead. A spokesperson for the FDA said that one of the agency’s current theories is that the cinnamon contamination was the result of “economically motivated adulteration.”

Why do we allow food that can be grown and produced locally to be imported from Ecuador?

Because the masses want to eat cheap. Lead is terrible. Yet we fully understand the impact of EMF's and cell devices and parents don't really care. Will be a future issue.
