"Lead is toxic to humans and especially dangerous for pregnant women, infants, and young children because it can harm developing brains and nervous systems, sometimes causing lasting problems."
"According to the FSIS alert, the amount of lead found in these chicken nuggets could be as much as five times higher than guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration provided for children."
"At low levels of lead exposure, children may not have obvious symptoms, but they can still experience trouble learning, low IQ, and behavior changes."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for frozen dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets sold at Walmart due to unsafe lead levels. Although a recall was not requested as the product is no longer available, concerns remain about bags still in consumers' freezers. Lead exposure is particularly harmful to pregnant women, infants, and young children, potentially causing lasting developmental issues. The lead levels found in the nuggets could exceed FDA guidelines for children by five times.
