Consumer Reports Petitions USDA to Ban Lunchables from Schools Due to High Sodium

Consumer Reports is petitioning the USDA to ban Lunchables from school lunchrooms due to high sodium levels and other health concerns
Specially-formulated school lunch versions of Lunchables were created by Kraft Heinz to meet nutrition guidelines, but CR testing found they still have more sodium than grocery store versions
A Lunchables pizza kit went from 510mg sodium in stores to 700mg in schools; a turkey kit went from 740mg to 930mg
High sodium can lead to high blood pressure and other health issues in children
CR found concerning levels of sodium as well as metals and chemicals in Lunchables and similar lunch kit brands
