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.

      Is nobody really going to push back on “Walmart knew there were traces of lead in their generic dino nuggets, and my evidence is that they clearanced them out one time a while back”? Mind you this was one lot code that we know of. Y’all are really about to make me defend Walmart and animal agriculture? Me? Why can’t this be about corporate negligence? Anemic regulation? The way animal agriculture is prone to this sort of problem? Anything that’s not obviously unfalsifiable bullshit?

        You could just do what the rest of us did and nod your head and not defend walmart?

        It’s not like walmart is above it, and it certainly isn’t like walmart needs you defending them.

          Apparently unlike you, intellectual dishonesty is the more difficult option for me.
