Kraft Heinz Withdraws Lunchables from School Lunch Program

Kraft Heinz has removed Lunchables from the National School Lunch Program due to insufficient demand and concerns over high sodium, lead, and cadmium levels found in the meal kits by Consumer Reports. The decision aligns with calls for stricter nutritional standards in school lunches. Despite the removal, Kraft Heinz plans to revisit the program in the future. The school-specific Lunchables had higher sodium content than their store counterparts, raising health concerns.
