Consumer Reports called on the Department of Agriculture today to remove Lunchables food kits from the National School Lunch Program. CR recently compared the nutritional profiles of two Lunchable kits served in schools and found they have even higher levels of sodium than the kits consumers can buy in the store. CR also tested 12 store-bought versions of Lunchables and similar kits and found several contained relatively high levels of lead and cadmium. All but one also tested positive for phthalates, chemicals found in plastic that have been linked to reproductive problems, diabetes, and certain cancers.
They said “Lunchables and similar lunch kits”, and CR has a reputation for using honest language, so I don’t think there’s any reasonable confusion here about whether or not Lunchables are affected.
They said those were tested and several (not all) of the things tested were found to contain “bad stuff”
It’s actually pretty vague wording.
