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.

Lead is in the soil, along with other heavy metals, pfas, and all sorts of shit, thousands of things. Including huge amounts of whatchacall it, flouride. I know you guys all trust that one, but it’s an industrial byproduct of aluminum smelting and is in the soil in high levels in places like where california raisens are grown. Also it’s a different molecule of flouride that the naturally occurring one. Sweet dreams.
