Lunchables found to contain relatively high lead levels t.co/tAEGCeGXBw

The popular kids snack Lunchables contains relatively high levels of lead and sodium, a consumer watchdog group warned Tuesday.
Consumer Reports (CR), a consumer advocacy group, said it tested 12 store-bought versions of Lunchables — which are made by Kraft Heinz — along with similar lunch and snack kits and found “relatively high levels of lead and cadmium” in the Lunchables kits.
Cadmium is a chemical element linked to negative effects on the kidney and the skeletal and respiratory systems and is classified as a human carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization.
There is not a safe level of lead for children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes.
The sodium levels in the kits ranged from 460 milligrams to 740 milligrams per serving, nearly a quarter to half of a child’s daily recommended limit for sodium, CR said.
