Consumer Reports Find Heavy Metals in Food Seasoning

[Tikker]

Came across this info and it's having me reevaluate what seasoning's I have in the cupboard. It's so bad in some of the items that some kids have had lead poisoning just from the seasoning in their food.

I'm not normally very obsessed about these kinds of issues - but - lead and cadmium are pretty nasty.

Complete elimination of lead/cadmium from food is difficult to achieve. The difficulty lies in the reality that these kinds of crops are often sourced from a very limited number of locations, so if one brand is affected, many others will be too, and it won't be obvious on the packaging.
