1. Apple Cinnamon Puree Pouches
In late 2023, WanaBana apple cinnamon puree pouches were linked to elevated lead levels in children’s blood tests. The FDA confirmed that some pouches contained dangerous amounts of lead and chromium, sparking recalls across brands like Schnucks and Weis. Since then, brands sourcing similar ingredients have come under investigation. These pouches are still on many store shelves, so parents should check UPCs and avoid questionable batches.
