Lior Cinnamon lead contamination recall

Overview

Galil Importing Corp. initiated a voluntary recall of Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning after the Maryland Department of Health identified elevated lead levels during routine testing.

The affected product is sold in 90-gram (3.2-ounce) transparent plastic containers with UPC code 794711005484 and lot code GAP11304. Distribution took place between November 18, 2025, and September 7, 2026, across retail stores, delis, and supermarkets in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, and Illinois.
