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.

    Aldi is the best. They are a life saver, idk why they don’t expand into more areas, they’ve a great business model. And while idk how they treat their suppliers of food, they actually treat their employees better than any other grocer chain in the US. That I am familiar with.

      I did see and confirm, unfortunately, that Aldi is also using digital price displays, but I don’t have any evidence to confirm if they’re using variable pricing like Walmart.

      Fortunate to have HEB in Texas. They treat their employees and their customers really well, also, and totally keep out all that Safeway nonsense. Aldi is rapidly expanding in the US, they have stores all over Texas, too
