- The bottom line on lunch kits: “We don’t think anybody should regularly eat these products, and they definitely shouldn’t be considered a healthy school lunch,” says Eric Boring, PhD, a CR chemist who led CR’s testing. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/lunch-and-snack-packs/should-you-pack-lunchables-for-your-kids-school-lunch-a1165583878/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_TW
- Our tests revealed relatively high levels of harmful chemicals in store-bought Lunchables and similar lunch kits. Our kids deserve better! Sign @CRAdvocacy petition urging the @USDA to remove these types of lunch kits from the school lunch program. https://action.consumerreports.org/sm-20240409-usdalunchables?EXTKEY=YAOCIALOTW
