Beware of Chinese Cinnamon

Thanks to the Swiss Sunday press we know that we've escaped death only within a hair's breadth. A food scandal is threatening Swiss children. Especially condemnable is that the poison is hiding in popular Christmas cookies - i.e. in the very popular cinnamon stars. Big producers such as Nestlé are according to the Sonntags Zeitung using cheap cassia cinnamon (from China!) instead of the True or Ceylon Cinnamon (read about the differences). The cheap Chinese cassia contains much more of a substance called Coumarin which is toxic! Hence the outrage.

We can reassure you that we only use pure Ceylon Cinnamon from the poshest spice shop in town:
