Consumer Reports Moving to Remove Lunchables from School Menus

(Washington, DC) — There’s a push to kick Lunchables off school menus. Consumer Reports issued a warning Tuesday saying the school cafeteria version of the popular lunch snack contains too much sodium. Last year, Lunchables developed two new versions of the cheese, meat and cracker snacks especially for school lunch programs. Consumer Reports says the turkey and cheddar school-lunch versions contained nearly 200 more milligrams of sodium than the store-bought Lunchables. The nonprofit group says it’s petitioning the USDA to remove the snacks from school cafeterias.
