About CINNAMON

'FAIR TRADE CINNAMON' refers to cinnamon that is sourced through fair trade practices, ensuring ethical working conditions and fair compensation for farmers. It can be found in health food stores, supermarkets, and online retailers that support fair trade products. In relation to pets, particularly cats and dogs, cinnamon is generally non-toxic in small amounts. However, large quantities can cause adverse reactions such as irritation of the mouth and stomach, low blood sugar, liver disease, and even more severe toxic effects. It is important to prevent pets from consuming significant amounts of cinnamon, whether it is fair trade or not. Always consult a veterinarian if there are concerns about cinnamon exposure or ingestion.
