Researchers analyzed samples and found measurable amounts of the heavy metal, which could pose particular dangers for children and pregnant women. The findings come as Americans prepare for seasonal baking, where canned pumpkin is a staple ingredient in pies and other treats. Health authorities are now urging caution while further investigations are underway to assess the scope of contamination.
