I’m amused by the headline image showing the ingredients and nutrition panel of the packaging, as if that’s where you are supposed to check to see if “lead” is listed.
I’m calling conspiracy…WanaBana is trying to make a new generation of lead-poisoned boomers. They make the best consumers.

How does lead end up in apple sauce?
My money is on the cinnamon powder. Lead is kinda sweet, pretty common and quite heavy (and thus pretty cheaper per unit weight), and can make colorful pigments… if it wasn’t for the toxicity, it could have made quite the versatile food additive. It wouldn’t be the first time high levels of lead were found in dried spices/herbs; in fact, it’s unsettlingly common.
Older orchards are contaminated with lead arsenate from its use as a pesticide.
