The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for frozen, dinosaur-shaped, ready-to-eat chicken nuggets sold at Walmart stores because they may be contaminated with unsafe levels of lead.  Guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration provide an interim reference level (IRL) for lead

Guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration provide an interim reference level (IRL) for lead of 2.2 micrograms. The amount of lead found in these nuggets could be as much as five times higher than this IRL for children.

A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers’ freezers.

You ate them already. Sorry.

      We don’t, and won’t, have that though. Capitalism is fine with proper guidance and oversight too. But we don’t have that.

      So unless we do it ourselves. we are poisoned.

        You can actually buy healthy food. Chicken wads shaped like dinosaurs were probably never the best option.

          You absolutely cannot buy healthy food if you are 95% of the population. I do not know what world do you think you are living in but it is not that one, it is this one and everything is poisoned. Everything. Sweet dreams.

          However I do agree that chicken loaf is not the best option.
