The US government does broadly limit lead in food products， and the FDA has lead regulations.
Lead contamination in food production has been nearly eliminated since they finally realized it was a problem in the '80s.

And this kids, is why we have government regulations - to protect citizens.
Idk, sounds like socialism to me- the oligarchy

It’s always funny to me when conservatives are like “omg what’s with all the regulations?” as though we just made a bunch of regulations out of thin air… and not to address a problem that was occurring without the regulation.
Nah, let the free market sort it out. Those kids eating that cinnamon should have done a molecular study of the spice to determine its exact contents before consuming it, so it's their own fault.
