Lead in cinnamon?

[mariadnoca]

After using penzey’s, I bought some Kirkland a few years ago as an everyday type thinking I’d save penzey’s for cinnamon forward things. Well, one taste and I tossed it. You get what you pay for. Their vanilla isn’t what it used to be either and I gave it away.

Costco shoppers love to hit up the bulk retailer for all kinds of products, including spices. But were you aware of how much lead is in the brand's cinnamon?

Exactly the same reactions to both, although I don't get Penzey's here. I am finding that spices are becoming a challenge. Good thing I don't cook the way I used to.

I know, especially with the cinnamon, but that's partly because most American cinnamon is cassia. I am addicted to Penzey's Ceylon cinnamon for baking. I am so happy that they opened a store in Orlando, even though it's a bit of a trek. I plan my little sorties down there so that I also go to Freshfield Farms and iFresh, to economize on gas, though my wallet raises its eyebrows at my using the term economize, given what I spend. It's all good quality, well-priced food, though.
