These brands are commonly on sale at discount stores and were found to contain between 2.03 and 3.4 parts per million of lead. The FDA said that while no illnesses have been linked to the products, it has recommended a voluntary recall of the cinnamon brands.

The FDA added that the impacted products , "could be unsafe for prolonged use.".

The decision comes following a 2018 petition from Danone North America, which owns major yogurt brands Dannon, Activia, Wallaby Organic and Silk. .

Those caveats include that the marketing must note that evidence is limited to eating two cups, equal to three servings, of yogurt per week. .

While these claims do not require the FDA's approval, companies often petition the agency to define the specific language necessary to avoid making false claims.

The petition also noted that the evidence supports the health effects of yogurt as a food rather than related to any single nutrient or compound and thus is independent of fat or sugar content. , FDA announcement, via NBC
