As concerns about lead contamination in cinnamon continue to rise, DRUERA, a leading provider of premium Ceylon cinnamon, is setting a new standard for safety and transparency. A recent study by Consumer Reports revealed that a third of cinnamon products tested contained elevated lead levels, with some reaching a staggering 3.5 ppm.
The dangers of lead contamination in cinnamon underscore the importance of stringent safety measures. Chronic lead exposure, even in trace amounts, poses serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), lead exposure in children can lead to developmental delays, cognitive impairments, and behavioral challenges. For pregnant women, lead can cross the placental barrier, potentially stunting fetal growth and causing complications such as premature birth. These risks highlight the importance of choosing cinnamon from trusted, reliable sources.
The seriousness of this issue is underscored by regulations like the one in New York state, which mandates recalls for any spice exceeding 1.00 ppm of lead. And FDA has documented instances of cinnamon with lead concentrations between 2.03 and 7.68 ppm. In response to these alarming findings, DRUERA is reinforcing its commitment to providing consumers with safe and high-quality Ceylon cinnamon through rigorous testing and transparency.
“Consumer health is our absolute priority," said Mike de Livera, COO of Druera. "The recent reports of lead contamination in cinnamon are deeply concerning. That's why at DRUERA, we are committed to quality. We are testing every harvest of our Ceylon Cinnamon to make sure it consistently falls well below FDA-recommended limits. DRUERA lead levels have been found to be between just 0.19 and 0.21 ppm. We believe our customers deserve to enjoy the taste and health benefits of Ceylon cinnamon without any worries.”
Unlike many companies that rely on multiple suppliers and large-scale grinding operations, DRUERA sources its cinnamon from a single, trusted grower in Sri Lanka. This approach ensures complete traceability and control over the product.
DRUERA also grinds its cinnamon in small batches daily, maximizing freshness and preserving the essential oils that enhance flavor and health benefits. This meticulous approach allows for more precise testing, which ensures that each batch meets DRUERA’s high standards of purity and is consistently safe for daily use.
DRUERA is committed to maintaining transparency at every step of the process. By publishing the results of their lead tests on their blog and sharing their testing protocols, the company fosters confidence among their customers and sets a new standard of accountability in the spice industry.
The brand’s dedication to freshness is also underscored by its direct-to-consumer shipping model, with each order packed and shipped from Sri Lanka within days of harvest. It guarantees unparalleled freshness and ensures no risk of adulteration from overseas stock.
Customers globally have commended DRUERA's commitment to quality, with over 4,000 positive reviews highlighting its superior flavor, safety, and overall product quality. DRUERA also stands by its quality with a 100% money-back guarantee.
DRUERA’s ongoing commitment to safety, sustainability, and transparency ensures that every customer receives the finest Ceylon cinnamon. By adopting practices such as single-origin /grower sourcing, small-batch grinding, and a direct-to-consumer model, DRUERA is leading by example and setting a new benchmark for quality and safety in the spice industry.
