US EditionUSDA Retracts Health Alert About Walmart Dinosaur Nuggets
Further testing by state officials and Dorada Foods found no elevated lead, and the USDA said the nuggets no longer pose a public health concern.
- On Monday, the USDA retracted its public health alert for Walmart Great Value Fully Cooked Dino Shaped Chicken Breast Nuggets, determining the product does not pose a public health concern.
- The USDA issued the original alert last week after routine surveillance by the New York State Department of Public Health indicated elevated trace levels of lead in the product commonly eaten by children.
- Subsequent testing of the product lot by officials and Dorada Foods found no elevated lead levels, identifying the initial surveillance result as a false positive.
- According to the updated notice, FSIS has concluded that "the product does not pose a public health concern." The Inspection Service replaced the previous warning with this determination.
- Because the nuggets were no longer available for purchase, the USDA had issued a public health alert rather than a recall for bags with "Best if used by" date of Feb 10 2027.
