I would guess that the goal isn't to increase the mass of cinnamon to but to interfere with a standard assay of cinnamon. This would be similar to the melamine in baby formula and milk powder scandal in China. The melamine wasn't added to significantly increase the mass, but to interfere with the protein content assay. The lead might be there to add color, to interfere with assay of organic compounds, to prevent fungal growth, or even to cover a defect(lead binds to stinky sulfur compounds)... It's hard to say with knowing what form of lead they found in the apple sauce. |
