A system for fast notifications protects your family from unexpected product issues.

Imagine this: you’ve just stocked up on groceries, feeling accomplished as you check it off your to-do list. Then, just a few days later, a news headline pops up about a dangerous recall for a product your family uses every day. That unsettling scenario has become far too common in today’s world of frequent food recalls and delayed information.

Take the recent lead contamination in cinnamon applesauce pouches for children; it’s a perfect example of how traditional recall systems are failing consumers. This is where Life’s Abundance takes a different approach.

As an employee-owned, purpose-driven company, we’ve built our foundation on one key principle: control—control over our ingredients, our products, and, most importantly, our communication with you. In the rare event that anything were ever to go wrong, you’ll hear about it directly from us.

Let’s explore how we do it and why that makes all the difference in your family’s safety.

The Cinnamon Applesauce Recall: What Happened?

In late 2023, health officials in North Carolina discovered children with elevated lead levels had been consuming WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit purée pouches.

This sparked a national investigation that uncovered a shocking truth. The cinnamon in these products had been contaminated with lead chromate, a cheap, toxic substance added to enhance color and reduce costs. This made the product appear more appealing at a lower price, all purely for economic gain.

The result? Over 500 children were affected, with some having alarmingly high lead levels in their blood.

The underlying issue here wasn’t just the contamination–it was how slowly the recall system responded. It took over ten days for the recall to expand to include private-label brands, and by that time, millions of potentially harmful products had already been distributed nationwide.

This is where the traditional recall system fails: relying on third-party retailers and distributors to get the word out leads to delays, miscommunication, and products staying on shelves long after a recall is announced.

Now, imagine if families had been notified within hours of the recall. That’s the power of being a Life’s Abundance customer!

Why Life’s Abundance Stands Out in Product Safety

We maintain a watchful eye over each of our products, from ingredient sourcing to the moment they head to your door. Here’s how we do things differently:

• A dangerous ingredient like lead chromate would never make it into our products, thanks to our stringent quality controls and thorough ingredient testing (more on that below).
• We track every purchase, so if an issue ever arises, we can notify our customers personally and within hours, not days.

With us, there’s no guesswork or third parties. We know exactly who bought our products and can reach out to affected customers directly, giving you peace of mind in a situation that might otherwise be chaotic.

This is all more than just a convenience; it’s a safeguard for your family’s health. When you choose Life’s Abundance, you’re not just choosing premium ingredients. You’re choosing safety and transparency.

Life’s Abundance ensures product safety with strict quality control.

Building Trust Through Ingredient Quality

Beyond our fast recall notification system, we take immense pride in the quality of every ingredient we use. Cutting corners is simply not an option.

We rigorously screen suppliers and carefully select each ingredient to meet our strict standards. Even when we source micronutrients internationally—because they aren’t available domestically—each one undergoes extensive testing, with some passing over 100 quality checks!

A prime example of our commitment to ingredient safety is our use of mass spectrometer fingerprinting. This advanced technology verifies the purity of each micronutrient in our formulas, ensuring that every product we deliver is authentic, effective, and free from harmful contaminants. It’s all part of the premium promise you get when you choose Life’s Abundance.

A Safer Future for Your Family

Think of Life’s Abundance as the dependable lighthouse in a storm of uncertainty–always shining a light on transparency, safety, and quality. We prioritize high-quality ingredients and are fully equipped to protect your family through immediate communication and industry-leading safety measures.
