Guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration provide an interim reference level (IRL) for lead of 2.2 micrograms. The amount of lead found in these nuggets could be as much as five times higher than this IRL for children.

A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers’ freezers.

You ate them already. Sorry.

    It’s really one of the most America things I’ve ever read. I’m fortunate to live in a city in the US, so have no issue avoiding Walmart like the plague, but most of rural America probably bought these nuggets and dropped their kids’ IQs even further

      You forgot the “un” in “unfortunate”. Guess you ate the nuggets allready.

        ahhh, here are your meat shaped patties of ground flesh, with a side of corn syrup, just as you ordered. Now gobble up your glyphosate, like a good little patriot
