USA – The Food and Drug Administration says more children were apparently sickened by apple puree pouches recently recalled due to dangerous lead contamination.

The pouches were marketed to parents and children under three brands: Wanabana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree and Schnucks and Weis Cinnamon Applesauce pouches.

The agency says it has received 52 reports of elevated lead levels among children who reportedly consumed the products, which is up from 34 cases reported last week.

The reports span 22 states and involve children between the ages of 1 to 4.
