TL;DR Summary

Consumer Reports released a study calling for the removal of Lunchables from the National School Lunch Program due to high levels of lead and sodium. Kraft Heinz, the owner of Lunchables, responded, stating that the study was misleading and that their products meet strict safety standards. While concerns about the healthiness of Lunchables persist, the USDA notes that it's not possible to completely prevent lead from entering the food supply, and it's the responsibility of food manufacturers to minimize chemical hazards. Lunchables have not been recalled, and their prices vary depending on the store.
