"Consumer Reports Exposes High Lead and Sodium Levels in Lunchables, Calls for Removal from School Menus"

Consumer Reports has found concerning levels of lead, sodium, and potentially harmful chemicals in Lunchables, prompting a petition to remove the Kraft Heinz products from the National School Lunch Program. The watchdog's testing revealed elevated lead levels and phthalates in the packaging, raising concerns about children's health risks. Kraft Heinz defended its products, but critics argue that ultra-processed foods like Lunchables are inappropriate for school lunches and call for stricter nutrition standards to ensure children have access to healthier options.
