Accidentally had smoothie which had maca powder in it. Panicking now as it says you shouldn’t when pregnant due to lead exposure. I didn’t drink all the smoothie but I’m panicking now

I hadn't even heard of it before. Overwhelming info from Google suggests that they just don't recommend as there's not enough data on pregnant women for them to rule out issues should it be sustained over a long period of time. Bit like everything else they say to abstain from, not because they know it's harmful but just that they haven't done any studies on pregnant women.
If it's just one smoothie I'm sure it'll be fine.
