Could a staple of lunchtime be in trouble? This is actually important. Consumer Reports is urging the Department of Agriculture to remove Lunchables from the National School Lunch Program. As announced in a statement on Tuesday, the report claims Lunchables “and similar lunch kits” contain relatively high levels of lead, cadmium, and sodium. The group found the turkey-and-cheddar school version of Lunchables contains 930 mg of sodium compared to 740 mg in the store-bought version. Meanwhile, there is no safe level of lead for children, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
BREAKING: Lunchables have been found to contain dangerous amounts of lead.
New research has also shows that Lunchables have chemicals found in plastics that have been linked to reproductive problems, diabetes, and certain cancers.
