In a recent announcement, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning to consumers regarding a specific batch of El Chilar Ground Cinnamon “Canela Molida.” The affected lot codes are D300 EX1024 and F272 EX1026.
Consumers who have purchased these products are strongly advised to cease usage immediately and return the items to the place of purchase for a full refund. This cautionary measure comes amidst concerns of potential lead contamination, posing a significant risk to public health, especially among toddlers and young children.
Parents and caregivers are urged to be vigilant and monitor for any symptoms of lead exposure in their children. Those who suspect exposure or notice symptoms are encouraged to promptly seek medical attention and report their concerns to healthcare providers.
For further inquiries or assistance, consumers can reach out to EL CHILAR RODRIGUEZ LLC at 407-880-6007 during regular business hours (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM).

Subsequent investigation into the matter suggests that the issue may stem from potentially adulterated raw materials supplied to El Chilar Rodriguez LLC. This revelation adds complexity to the situation, prompting further scrutiny and action to address the root cause of the contamination.
The FDA, in collaboration with relevant authorities, is actively investigating the source of the problem to prevent future occurrences and safeguard public health.
As the investigation unfolds, consumers are advised to remain vigilant and heed official warnings and instructions to ensure their safety and well-being.
