The agency says tests of cinnamon samples found lead levels 2,000 times higher than the standard.
The samples came from an inspection of a facility in Ecuador linked to contaminated pouches which are under recall in the United States.

Anyone who may have eaten it is being urged to get their blood tested for lead.
