U.S. health officials are warning doctors to be on the lookout for possible cases of lead poisoning in children after at least 22 toddlers in 14 states were sickened by lead linked to tainted pouches of cinnamon apple puree and applesauce.
Children ages 1 to 3 were affected, and at least one child showed a blood lead level eight times higher than the level that raises concern, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
There’s no safe level of lead exposure, but the CDC uses a marker of 3.5 micrograms per deciliter to identify children with higher levels than most. The affected children’s blood lead levels ranged from 4 to 29 micrograms per deciliter.
The reported symptoms included headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a change in activity level and anemia.
First dino nuggets, now applesauce? What will be next?
Dog food again? It’s been awhile since the poison level in pet foods have caused a quick death…

Bloody hell. Commercial pet food was already determental to animal health as it was without this extra layer of garbage. I sure hope there’s some large lawsuits coming towards these manufacturers.
certain dog foods are on recall again
Fuck bro, what’s going on with the nuggies‽
Just some tasty metal shards.

Just tell the kids they’re dinosaur bones, jeez
sales must have tanked on the nuggs because of the recall and its publicity. we got big bags of older (not affected) stock on huge discount last week, way less than half price.
