Due to a potential health risk associated with a common spice, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is cautioning consumers to inspect their spice closets.
The FDA has recalled Yu Yee, Five Spice Powder, which comes in 1.76-ounce canisters, because of elevated lead levels. The well-known Chinese spice blend is frequently used for marinades, dry rubs, frying, stewing, and seasoning.
The FDA escalated the recall to a Class II recall, which denotes a situation where exposure to or use of a violating product may result in short-term or medically reversible adverse health consequences or when there is a remote chance of substantial adverse health consequences.
New York was one of the states where the product was distributed.
Very low levels of lead exposure over a brief period of time might not cause any symptoms. Elevated blood lead levels could be the sole obvious indication of exposure.
Higher levels of lead exposure, either acute or chronic, increase the likelihood of more lead exposure symptoms. Although almost every physiological system can be impacted by lead, the FDA said that the effects vary depending on age, body weight, and the quantity and duration of lead exposure.
A child’s central nervous system may sustain irreversible harm if they are exposed to enough lead for weeks or months. Learning disabilities, developmental abnormalities, and other chronic health issues may arise from this. The FDA states that prolonged exposure to lead in adults is linked to renal failure, hypertension, and neuropsychological consequences.
Customers should cease utilizing recalled goods right away.
