A quintessential holiday spice made by a single manufacturer has been recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for possible contamination.

The FDA recalled Lucky Foods brand cinnamon powder on Tuesday after an analysis conducted by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets found high levels of lead.

It’s unclear how the product became contaminated. Lead may be present in food products as a result of the environment in which they’re grown or processed.

The FDA said the distributor, TBC Distribution Corp. of Brooklyn, N.Y., has ceased working with the supplier.

No illnesses in connection with the tainted cinnamon have been reported.
