- Cinnamon lovers, while the FDA has used its authority to warn consumers about 17 cinnamon products, there are no federal limits on lead levels in spices. Follow these steps so you can limit your exposure to lead in cinnamon. https://x.com/ConsumerReports/status/1839364350466744794

- Great to see one of my former employers, Walmart, sharing their expectations with suppliers to comply with FDA’s Food Traceability Rule (see link below). https://one.walmart.com/content/food-safety/en_us/food-safety-requirements/food-traceability.html

- FDA is providing an update about ongoing research efforts it is undertaking to help ensure the safety of dairy products during the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A (H5N1) virus in dairy cattle. https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/updates-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza-hpai

- Sellers used eBay US, eBay UK, eBay Philippines, WeShop & http://Bonanza.com to sell “at the best price” multiple brands of unapproved male enhancement products w/hidden active pharmaceutical ingredients that they purchased from China & Hong Kong. [marketed as dietary supplements]

OCI Agents protect public health by working to remove illegal FDA-regulated products from the market: https://fda.gov/drugs/buying-using-medicine-safely/counterfeit-medicine
