Health Alert: WanaBana Fruit Pouches Under Scrutiny for High Lead Concentrations.
North Carolina's health officials have raised concerns about elevated lead levels in WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches, prompting a nationwide recall. The U.S. FDA, following collaborative investigations with local health departments and other agencies, has released an advisory warning against the consumption of these pouches by young children.
These pouches, which are available at major retailers like Sam’s Club, Amazon, and Dollar Tree, have been found to contain alarmingly high concentrations of lead. WanaBana has voluntarily recalled all of these pouches.
Health officials in North Carolina have issued recommendations urging consumers to dispose of these products and consult medical professionals about potential lead exposure. The FDA warns that short-term lead exposure can lead to symptoms such as headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting, and anemia. Full Story Here
