Yeah, I mean, there’s two generations at least that have grown up with it. And the two or three generations before them dealt with lead paint and lead gas exhaust. We’re sure quick to recall toys that have lead on them though.
There needs to be the compensation commercials for kids that ate these growing up. I grew up eating this and would be given these for field trips or a quick lunch or snack.

Many items in the US are over processed and unhealthy. It's all about the almighty dollar rather than considering what is healthy for everyone like so many other unrelated things in this country. Big business just wants you to buy no matter the long term effects.
I wonder if they were this bad when I was a kid. I was born in the 90s and I remember that lunchables had actual name branded products and colas. The packaging was deferent too as well as the amounts and taste.
Great, I’ve been eating those the past 17 years on my lunch break at work. We normally don’t get a ton of free time, the ability to make it to a restaurant and back in time, or have access to microwaves and stoves isn’t guaranteed. It’s been packed sandwiches (tuna, peanut butter and jelly, or ham and cheese) along with Lunchables since they take up little time or space and have been ideal as a quick and easy go to for lunch breaks.
Kraft-Heinz denies the accusations? So, what’s going to happen to the executives if it’s found that there are, in fact, dangerous levels of lead and cadmium?
I KNEW IT!!! I was young when these first hit the market, and I never wanted it. It looked terrible, and my mother stated clearly that she would not buy them, even if I wanted them. Children in this country are fed garbage. That is one thing my mother got right. Lunchables are garbage-not any nutritional content at all.
@@FLORIDIANMILLIONAIRE yes maybe some, but just for a while. As time passes they'll end up forgetting about it and come back to consume these products. That's just how they are. I think we need to focus on actually doing something about it, because all the food in America is fake, filled with crap and all that excess amounts of chemicals. For our future generations
I'm a cafeteria manager and I would be embarrassed to serve lunchables in my kitchen. I must honestly say that it is very easy to throw food together for kids and it's not very hard to make it taste good too. The fact lunchables is even part of the national school lunch program is a disgrace to our country where so many other options are available. After hearing about large amounts of cellulose (WOOD) in Kraft's "parmesan" "cheese". Fun fact, they aren't even allowed to call it cheese. It's "cheese product". Now seeing this, I can confirm that some prison inmates eat better than our children. I'm not surprised by this at all though, look who put the whole plan into action. some one who has not the first clue about nutrition, just a wife of a person in power. Also, shame on theses foodservices for becoming so lazy with their kitchens!
These companies are in the business of making shareholder value go up, not healthy food. pretty much how every company is now from airplanes to toasters. It's all about shareholder value not a good product.
Great report , update and discussion Nancy!! Great discussion CBS!! The popular kids packed meal , Lunchables is being recommended by Consumer Reports for cafeterias to stop distributing the meals to kids in schools. mainly due to -high sodium - high lead - package contamination Lower income households receiving Lunchables and the manufacturers of this packaged meal say they are healthy focused about Lunchables
I agree those lunchable meats are way too much sodium for kids and children. I don’t think they are healthy. I used to eat those lunchable when I was younger I was not aware they have high levels of sodium and other unhealthy ingredients
How does this happen?? Poison ☠️being fed to our children while we happily pay them for it. How does the federal government even let this happen without any consequences to the greedy corporations doing this. I’m Really Bewildered why our citizens don’t demand more accountability
It makes me glad I've long since stopped eating them. I loved the Lunchables nachos as a kid and got back on them for a time during HS. I had the pizza one a couple of times, but I would often get the nachos.
Did some research but apparently there is not rlly anything to worry about the lead levels are so low like actually low but still having lead in a child’s food is crazy
I thought it was too until my mom got me some to take to school for lunch in the 3rd grade back in 2005, and got food poisoned after that. My mom never brought lunchables for me ever again.
I have a picky 5 yr old. He even skip his lunch at school and he have a 7 hours school day. I was desperate trying to find anything he would eat. My sister suggested lunchable because that was what her kids ate. I looked at the market. Cost cheap, around $3. It make me wonder if nutrition it have. Anyways I bought 2 and pray my son refuse to eat it, which he did.
You know... I loved Lunchables as a kid and had my mother buy them for me to bring to school to eat. Years later, I still like them, but... something about them made me feel pushed away from them whenever I look at them.
They serve them once a week in my district. Lunch has been free to all students in my state since the 2nd year of the pandemic. Parents have been complaining more about the quality of the food since the free lunches were implemented, as most of it is packaged, processed crap.
My kid refuses to eat the school food, not even the Mac n cheese. I have to pack her food. She loves lunchables, but unless they are on sale I make her a “lunchable” in bento box with cheese cubes and pretzel sticks etc.
Supplements are also poorly regulated. We need more rigorous regulation with high standards of quality with high fines and penalties for companies and corporations that do not comply. The food, water, supplements, building materials, infrastructure ...it is all toxic and filled with chemicals that have sustained impact on peoples' health...the damage has been done///now we need to have huge systemic changes and be fully committed to using non-toxic and eco-friendly materials, but profit and convenience and expedience and lack of awareness may make this impossible to change meaningfully.
30 years too late on this consumer report.

Fun fact the Creator of Lunchables once said he wont even feed his own kids lunchables because how bad they are for you
LMAO
Another Fun Fact: Lunchables was created by Oscar Meyer to sell more deli meats that were becoming excess during production.
it looks like story about the person created a type of gun and became deaf
@@peterjhpark4782just like “whey” amazing how they literally sell the trash/by products of production as an actual coveted product.
Fact check: completely false
the only thing hes quoted with ACTUALLY saying is this "I wish that the nutritional profile of the thing could have been better, but I don’t view the entire project as anything but a positive contribution to people’s lives."
The most terrifying words to hear in relation to any food are " dangerous levels" and "meets safety standards".
A safe amount of lead is like being “lightly stabbed” (Brooklyn 99 show)
They should also investigate MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI's Lunchly Products.
Even at 5$ a lunchable and they still can't even guaranteed Fresh product. Shame.
lunchables had us convinced eating uncooked pizza and cold chicken nuggets was fine dining
Not for me
Let's not forget that the "pizza sauce" was basically just ketchup.
@@rambofan334 Didn’t taste like ketchup to me that much..
Just for white people
I remember when I was in school I thought people that brought luchables for lunch were cool and rich while I had free lunch food
Lots of people have felt that.....
Same here. Or the people who had their lunches packed with them and their mom gave them cool/fancy things like the Milano cookies lol
Um.. I had nothing for lunch at school...
Breakthrough journalism. They found high levels of sodium? You mean they looked at the back of the box?
Honestly the sodium level doesn't really matter, but lead and cadmium tho thats a different story
@@imaginefindingThe toxins are obviously worse, but high sodium absolutely DOES matter.
@@lolapop2010 eh compared to alot of things it's not a big deal. But I see your point, that alone should be a no.
Wonder why they domt have this product in europe 🤦🏼♂️
You still sell Cigs in Europe though? Don’t think y’all aren’t also digesting crap haha it’s just different stuff.
It would only sell in the UK, the rest of Europe knows how to assemble their own cheese and crackers
@@ChicagoJoe94 bro tried to complain at someone eating the crust while they themselves eat the pizza whole without shame, no no you don't! 😂
Products in Europe still contain lead. as with anywhere there are limits in place.

Nahh even the school slop is better in comparison to lunchables

Thanks for restating the obvious. It’s not like anyone else has said this exact thing (or a variation of it) billions of times now
Coincidence but 2 days ago the prices went down so I bought 3. Yesterday they brought this up. 😢
I still ate them as an adult 😫
Bro I’ve been eating them when I sit down and drink a 12 pack and I be eating so many I’m terrified

Lunchables was better way back when the brand was cartoonish including the penguin
@@bethanywashington1243 It was actually worse back in the 80's and 90's. Weve come a long way.

This explains the high levels of brainrot in todays children
That’s tiktok
You saw ur child watching skibaki toilet right?
People have been eating this for decades so it’s something else
Do we have to worry about lead and cadmium in meat and cheese from the grocery store deli counter?
Good question.
Realistically no
@@ChrispyLink That was reassuring. Hmmm. What's the difference?
you'll find lead in every food product, its a naturally occuring thing, you could grow your own veggies and still find traces of it in the plant
Junk food isn't healthy????
Definitely not
Difference between "healthy" and "harmful" and "junk food"
CR is already becoming untrustworthy they have to say something true once in a while to keep them alive

According to California, it isn't dangerous levels. California. The state that requires a cancer warning if your product contains real fruit.
😮😮😮why were they allowed to be sold and given at all before they were made!?
Lunchables? More like Leadables.
😢😅😢😅😢😅
Dude 😂
OMG 🤣🤣🤣
Not me eating an 8 pack in a day

Some parents can't afford fancy foods. Yes, it may be unhealthy, but it is better than nothing. I was fed lunchables as a child and I am not obese.
Lentils, split peas, beans, rice, bananas , frozen vegetables and fruits are affordable , chicken gizzards, chicken feet, pork bones are cheap too, no excuses
Lunchables? Lead. Chocolate? Lead. Some dried spices that were recalled? Lead. What are kids supposed to eat? Paint chips?
It's really awful that in this day and age companies are doing this in U S Of freaking A unbelievable

Lunchables are full of calories, sodium, fat, etc. I stopped eating them since they are unhealthy.

I’m sorry.
For what?
@christopherwesterberg8555 that when you was a kid it was nostalga now it's gone
I don’t. They put so much lead in my lunchables I don’t remember eating them
I just started buying them once a month. Thought better than a fast food burger. Now what?
So grateful consumers report telling what is healthy and what not. Couldn‘t figure it out on my own.
My childhood has been officially ruined
Idk why people are so surprised. It's America after all and till we wake up about what's in our food this is, what we will get.
> Until Americans wake up
List of things that will never happen:
@@leanflavoredpringles2353do you think we went to the moon?

Packaged and processed food ….. is nasty and bad for you. They don’t care if it’s good or bad for you it’s all about the $
Well most our food is processed and until America wakes up like Europe did it's gonna be awhile till we see real ingredients in food.

Does this include most of American foods?

Don’t you ever call someone a “conspiracy theorist” again.
Nothing wrong with theorizing things involving existing conspiracies
Sue the company
I ate Lunchables just now nothing happened
I remember getting food poisoned from lunchables in the 3rd grade back in 2005. My mom never brought Lunchables for me ever again.
So I can sue now right?
On what grounds?
But what's causing the lead???
Just like pretty much all of our other foods. So what else is new?
I always thought Lunchables were rich people food when I was a kid. I hope it’s not just me lol.
I thought it was too until my mom got me some to take to school for lunch in the 3rd grade back in 2005, and got food poisoned after that.

Those were a treat, not an everyday lunch.
Omg at this point just sell boxes of lead at the grocery store.
I could eat like 10 of those boxes and that's before the pot kicks in
