Federal, state and local officials are urging Montanans to check their homes, child care facilities and schools for the recalled cinnamon-containing applesauce or apple puree products (listed below) and discard them immediately.

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) also urges medical providers to continue to monitor for possible cases of lead poisoning in children potentially associated with consuming the recalled products.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there have been 57 reports of adverse events (e.g., person with symptoms or exposure to this product) potentially linked to tainted pouches of cinnamon apple puree and applesauce in 26 states, as of Nov. 30.
