The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for frozen, dinosaur-shaped, ready-to-eat chicken nuggets that may be contaminated with unsafe levels of lead. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers’ freezers.

Did you know lead can be naturally found in soil? To reduce exposure from lead in soil:

✅ Check the exterior of your home, including porches and fences for peeling or chipping lead-based paint.

✅ Wash hands with soap and water after playing or working outside.

✅ Plant bushes close to the house to prevent children from playing in soil near your home.

✅ Take off shoes before entering your house.

Measles is not just a mild illness. It can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, brain swelling, hearing loss, and even death. Risk of severe disease is highest for young children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.

Most adults are already well protected against measles, but if you were born in certain years or your vaccine history is unknown, an additional dose is worth considering.
