The Consumer Reports spice article I linked looks at turmeric too and found products on shelves, in 2021, in the highest category of concern.

I'm not convinced that these (turmeric with lead chromate pigment) are rare, one-off incidents. I think this "this is a South Asian problem" might be an American problem, too, to a lesser degree: we just don't have enough visibility and testing to notice it.
