Check your spice rack. The Food and Drug Administration says it found elevated levels of lead in a half dozen different brands of ground cinnamon sold at discount stores.
One brand, Supreme Tradition, was sold at Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores. The other brands were sold at stores that do not have locations listed for the San Antonio area.
The other five ground cinnamon products found to contain lead are: La Fiesta, made and sold in California at La Superior SuperMercados; Marcum, sold at Save A Lot; MK, sold at SF Supermarket; Swad, sold at Patel Brothers; and Eli Chilar, sold at La Joya Morelense.

People who bought the affected cinnamon at Dollar Tree or Family Dollar may return it to the store for a refund.
The FDA urges people to throw the products away and not to eat them. No illnesses have been reported.
An analysis by the FDA found the six products had elevated lead levels from 2.03 to 3.4 parts per million.
Lead exposure can be harmful to both children and adults, but high levels of lead can be especially dangerous for children, potentially leading to serious health issues, such as learning and behavior problems and lower IQs, the FDA said.
The warning comes after some lead-tainted cinnamon applesauce pouches for children were recalled. Federal regulators have said that cinnamon was the most likely source of the lead contamination. After the recall, the FDA continued its investigation, testing cinnamon products sold at various discount stores.
