===Counterfeit===
True cinnamon from ''C. verum'' bark can be mixed with cassia (''C. cassia'') as [[counterfeit]] and falsely marketed as authentic cinnamon. In one analysis, authentic [[Ceylon cinnamon]] bark contained 12-143&nbsp;mg/kg of [[coumarin]] {{ndash}} a [[polyphenol|phenolic]] typically low in content in true cinnamon {{ndash}} but market samples contained coumarin with levels as high as 3462&nbsp;mg/kg, indicating probable contamination with cassia in the counterfeit cinnamon.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ananthakrishnan |first1=R. |last2=Chandra |first2=Preeti |last3=Kumar |first3=Brijesh |last4=Rameshkumar |first4=K.
