17th of June – Amid ongoing consumer concerns about lead contamination in food products, particularly spices, DRUERA, a leading provider of premium Ceylon cinnamon, is proud to announce unprecedented lab results demonstrating effectively zero lead levels in its latest harvests.

With rigorous testing protocols and a uniquely controlled supply chain, DRUERA is setting a new standard for purity and transparency in the global spice market, offering consumers complete confidence in the safety of their cinnamon.

Recent independent lab reports for Druera's Ceylon cinnamon harvests show remarkably low lead levels: 0.21 ppm for the July 2024 harvest, 0.19 ppm for the September 2024 harvest, and a groundbreaking 0.00 ppm for the March 2025 harvest. These results stand in stark contrast to reports of elevated lead in cinnamon found in products of many well-known brands, highlighting Druera's exceptional commitment to safety.

“Achieving 0.00 parts per million of lead in our latest Ceylon cinnamon harvest is a significant milestone and a testament to the meticulous care and control throughout our process,” says Mike de Livera, COO of Druera. “We don't just test for lead; we actively work to prevent contamination at every stage, ensuring our customers receive cinnamon that is not only fresh & delicious but also definitively safe for daily consumption.”

Druera's ability to consistently deliver ultra-low lead levels stems from its unique sourcing and processing methods, which have been refined over 20 years. Unlike most sellers who source cinnamon from multiple farmers, making traceability difficult and quality inconsistent, Druera maintains an exclusive, long-standing relationship with a single grower in Sri Lanka. This partnership ensures complete traceability and confidence in the integrity of the source.

The location of this single farm is critical for preventing field contamination. Situated just below the vast Sinharaja Forest Reserve, the farm benefits from an uncontaminated water source flowing directly from the pristine forest ecosystem. Its distance from major roads and highways minimizes exposure to lead pollution, which is often associated with vehicular traffic in regions where leaded petroleum is still used. This pristine natural environment ensures the cinnamon grows in lead-free soil and is nourished by pure water.

Beyond the field, contamination can also occur during grinding, where heat from prolonged machine operation can transfer heavy metals, including lead, from the equipment into the spice. Many commercial operations grind continuously for hours. DRUERA, however, employs a unique approach: grinding is performed in small batches, typically 50 pounds, for just 30 minutes per day. This prevents the pin grinder from overheating, thus eliminating the risk of metal transfer. This small-batch, low-heat grinding process also has the crucial benefit of preserving the cinnamon's essential oils, which contribute to its rich aroma and flavor.

Druera further distinguishes itself through unparalleled transparency. Lab reports for each harvest, conducted 3-4 times per year, are published online. This practice not only validates the freshness of the cinnamon being sold but also empowers customers with verifiable data, a sharp contrast to many companies that either do not publish reports or show outdated ones.

Recognizing that consumers seek comprehensive information for spice safety, Druera has also launched the first-of-its-kind coumarin intake calculator. While Ceylon cinnamon naturally contains 350 times less coumarin than Cassia varieties, many consumers worry about their daily intake.

Available in 14 languages, this free online tool enables users to easily calculate the amount of Cinnamon that could be consumed based on body weight and the type and amount of cinnamon used, further demonstrating Druera's commitment to educating and empowering its customers.

This dedication to quality, transparency, and safety is reflected in Druera's global customer base and over 4,000 positive reviews, frequently citing the superior flavor, freshness, and confidence provided by the brand.
