The public health alert issued April 1 for Walmart Great Value Fully Cooked Dino Shaped Chicken Breast Nuggets with “Best If Used By” date “Feb 10 2027” produced by Dorada Foods was retracted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) after confirming that the product does not pose a public health concern.
The public health alert was originally issued based on routine surveillance sampling conducted by the New York State Department of Public Health that indicated elevated trace levels of lead. Because this product is commonly consumed by children, FSIS issued the alert to inform consumers of a potential risk.
Following the alert, additional sampling was conducted by the New York State Department of Public Health and the producing establishment, Dorada Foods. As part of that process, the original lot of product was tested as well as additional lots.
All follow up testing, including testing of the original lot, found no elevated levels of lead in the product.
The agency has concluded that the product does not pose a public health concern.
