(Portland, OR) -- Health officials are confirming that a Multnomah County child tested high for blood lead levels after eating a fruit snack linked to elevated lead levels in the blood of several children who consumed it. Multnomah County's Health Department says the child tested positive for elevated lead levels with 30 days of eating a WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouch. The FDA posted a public health advisory about the product after four North Carolina children exhibited elevated levels of lead in their blood after eating it. Officials are warning parents not to let their child consume the product.
