8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT: Health alert issued for some Walmart chicken nuggets

8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT (WAKA) – A health alert has been issued for some frozen chicken nuggets sold at Walmart stores nationwide.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the health alert involves some packages of Great Value dinosaur-shaped nuggets, which could contain lead.

The health alert is for 29-ounce bags containing about 36 nuggets, with a production date of February 10 and a ‘best buy” date of February 10, 2027.

Look for a Lot Code of 0416DPO1215 and Establishment Number of P44164 printed on the back of the bag.

The USDA says the bags of nuggets are no longer on Walmart store shelves, which is why a recall wasn’t issued, but they could be in home freezers.

Lead is especially harmful to pregnant women, babies and young children.
