Overview
- FSIS, which issued the alert Wednesday, warned that a specific lot of Great Value dinosaur‑shaped chicken nuggets may contain unsafe levels of lead.
- The affected bags are 29‑ounce Great Value Fully Cooked Dino Shaped Chicken Breast Nuggets with lot code 0416DPO1215, establishment P44164, and a best‑if‑used‑by date of Feb. 10, 2027, produced on Feb. 10, 2026.
- Testing indicated lead amounts could reach five times the FDA’s 2.2‑microgram interim reference level for children, and no illnesses have been reported.
- Walmart said it pulled the product from stores and online, issued a sales restriction, and will refund returns as FSIS continues an investigation that could expand the alert.
- Because the lot is already off shelves, regulators did not request a recall and instead urge consumers to discard or return any bags they find at home.
