From The Club:
It’s important to stay informed about the products we consume, especially those we put into our food regularly. The recall for Nicomex Tequesquite might be a shock to some patrons but it’s important to immediately check the product you have if it has the same details as above. It’s important to be always updated on food news as lead contamination can be in the food we commonly eat – like the previous lead concerns on Cinnamon and Applesauce brands.
Why is Lead a Concern?
You might be wondering, what’s the big deal with lead? Well, even small amounts of lead can be harmful, especially if you’re exposed to it over time. Too much lead in the body can cause some serious health problems.
For young kids, if they get too much lead and it sticks around for weeks or months, it could hurt their brains, making learning tough, and could cause other long-term health issues. For adults, being around lead for a long time could mess with your kidneys, blood pressure, and brain.
Remember, taking care of our health is super important, and being informed is the first step. Stay safe and always keep an eye on recall notices so you can react quickly if you need to.
If you ever have questions about food recalls or want to learn more about the foods you eat, don’t hesitate to look up more info or ask someone you trust. Always better to be safe than sorry!
