Where was the recalled cinnamon distributed?

The affected product was distributed to grocery stores, supermarkets and delis in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and Illinois.

The company lists a distribution period from November 18, 2025 through September 7, 2026. Those are distribution dates, not proof of the exact date any individual consumer purchased a container.

What should consumers do now?

1. Check the package

Confirm that the product is Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning in the 90 g container.

2. Check the UPC and lot

Look for UPC 794711005484 and lot GAP11304. The lot code is on the side under the ingredient line.

3. Do not consume a matching container

FDA’s posted recall says consumers should not eat the affected cinnamon.

4. Discard or return it

Dispose of the matching product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.

Why was Lior cinnamon recalled?

The recall followed testing of a product sample collected and analyzed by the Maryland Department of Health. The sample was found to contain elevated lead.

The current FDA-posted announcement does not provide the exact measured lead concentration, so TPS is not assigning a parts-per-million value that the controlling recall notice does not state.

Have any illnesses been reported?

No illnesses had been reported as of the September 24 recall announcement.

That does not mean consumers should continue using the recalled product. FDA explains that lower-level lead exposure may produce no obvious immediate symptoms, and an elevated blood lead level can sometimes be the only apparent sign of exposure.

What if someone already ate the recalled cinnamon?

The recall itself tells consumers to stop using the matching product. FDA’s broader guidance on elevated lead in cinnamon says people who suspect elevated lead exposure should contact a healthcare provider.

This article cannot determine whether any individual consumer has an elevated blood lead level. Personal testing or medical follow-up should be based on an appropriate healthcare professional’s assessment, especially where repeated exposure or concern about a child exists.

Is every Lior cinnamon product affected?

No broader Lior recall is established by the current notice. The confirmed product identifier is the 90 g Lior Cinnamon Ground Seasoning container with UPC 794711005484 and lot GAP11304.

Consumers should not assume another lot is recalled unless FDA or the company expands the scope.

What remains unknown?

The current announcement does not state the exact lead concentration, the total number of packages distributed, a retailer-by-retailer list or a final contamination source.

Galil Importing Corp says it has begun an investigation involving its supplier and is enhancing testing and supplier verification. Those findings may change the recall’s future scope or explanation.

What happens next?

This page should be updated if FDA or Galil adds more lots, package sizes, UPCs or states; reports an exact lead result; identifies a supplier or root cause; changes illness status; revises consumer instructions; or formally changes the recall’s status.

Verification note

TPS checked the FDA-posted Galil Importing Corp recall announcement for the product name, 90 g package, UPC, lot, distribution states, distribution period, testing source, illness status and consumer instructions. Broader FDA cinnamon-lead guidance was used only for general exposure context and not to expand the scope of this specific recall.
