Chicken nuggets sold at Walmart stores nationwide may contain unsafe levels of lead, according to a public health alert issued by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). While there is no safe level of lead exposure, the contamination in the frozen, dino-shaped nuggets could be as much as five times higher than the benchmark for dangerous levels for children.

What You Should Do
If you have the recalled chicken nuggets in your freezer, do not eat them or serve them to children. Instead, throw the product away or return it for a refund.
According to FSIS, lead exposure is especially dangerous for pregnant women, infants, and young children, because it can harm developing brains and nervous systems, sometimes causing lasting health problems.
