Official announcement text

Galil Importing Corp of Hauppauge, New York is recalling Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning 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 longterm health problems.

Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning (UPC 794711005484) was distributed to retail stores, grocery stores, delis, and supermarkets located in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida & Illinois between 11/18/2025 and 09/07/2026.

The product is packaged in 90 g transparent plastic containers (case pk of 6units). The lot code GAP11304 can be found on the side of the container under the ingredient line.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was the result of a sample collected and analyzed by Maryland Department of Health (MDH) that revealed the product contained elevated levels of lead.

Galil Importing Corp immediately initiated a voluntary recall and is notifying customers to stop distribution and sale of the affected product and place remaining inventory on hold.

The company has begun a supplier investigation, and implemented enhanced testing and supplier verification measures to prevent a recurrence.

Consumers should not consume the product and should either discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.

Consumers with questions may contact the company Galil Importing Corp on 1-516-496-7400 M-F 9a-5p (ET).
