Consumer Reports Urges Removal of Lunchables from School Menus Due to High Lead and Sodium Levels

Consumer Reports has found that Lunchables, a popular snack among children, contain high levels of lead, cadmium, and sodium, raising concerns about their healthiness for growing kids. The advocacy group has petitioned the USDA to remove Lunchables from school cafeterias, citing worries about the nutritional quality of school meals. Kraft Heinz, the maker of Lunchables, has responded by stating that they have taken steps to make the product more nutritious, but Consumer Reports remains firm in its stance.
