According to a posting on the US Food and Drug Administration website, Gel Spice, Inc. has announced that it is expanding its recall of ground turmeric powder to include additional brands because of elevated lead levels. Young children, newborns and pregnant women are especially vulnerable to lead.

Too much exposure to lead can cause health, developmental, and learning problems.

The company says that people with concerns about about blood lead levels should contact a health care provider about testing.

The additional products subject to recall are:

Brand/Description and Net Weight Lot/BB code UPC NUMBER
Spice Select/8 oz 03/18/19 076114007730
Market Pantry/0.95 oz 05APR2019 085239211038

The company said the products were distributed by various retailers throughout the United States.

"Sampling and testing of another product, produced from the same bulk turmeric, revealed the elevated level of lead." Gel Spice, Inc. posted on the FDA website.

According to the company, no illnesses have been reported to date.

Gel Spice, Inc. asks people who purchased the ground tumeric powders subject to recall to discard the product.

Consumers with questions about the recalled product may call (201) 564-0435 between the hours of 8 AM to 4 PM Eastern Time, Monday-Friday.
