Beware Texas, Lead Mired Food Now Being Recalled

There are a lot of food manufacturers and even more food options available every day that we sometimes forget how accessible and convenient it is to find something to eat in the store, and even more recently online. Thanks to order fulfillment, products of all types that were once unavailable to the Killeen-Temple, Texas area can now be delivered in a day or two.

We depend on these products to be safe for not only us, but definitely for our children and even pets to consume. Protecting that safety is the core responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration.

What product should Texas families be looking out for now?

WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree has said certain batches of their 3 pack bundles of 2.5 oz have been determined to potentially contain an unsafe level of lead contamination. They explain more in this press release on the WanaBana website.

What do you do if you suspect you have been exposed to lead?

Your first move, according to the Mayo Clinic, is to always contact your health provider and let them determine what kind of treatment is best for the patient. You must always remove the source of the contamination too.

In this case, you do not have to worry about whether or not your supply of WanaBana fruit puree is contaminated or not because you can return it for a full refund. Thus far only four illnesses have been reported, but like momma always used to say, "Better safe than sorry."
