Which Lunchables Contain the Most Lead? New Report Claims Dangerous Substance Found in Kids Food

Nearly all tested positive for phthalates-- chemicals found in plastic

Lunchables - the iconic kids' meal kits, often served in school cafeterias - contain elevated levels of highly poisonous metals like lead and cadmium, a new report claims.

The advocacy organization Consumer Report urged the United States Department of Agriculture to stop serving the meal kits as part of the National School Lunch Program, a federally funded intiative which provides schoolchildren from low income families with free or reduced-price meals.

Here are the results of the products sampled, with amounts of lead and sodium provided for each product.
