Walmart Great Value Dino Shaped Chicken Nuggets Recall Retracted After Lab Error
What this means
The USDA retracted a public health alert issued on April 1, 2026, for Walmart Great Value Fully Cooked Dino Shaped Chicken Breast Nuggets with a "Best If Used By" date of February 10, 2027. The initial alert was based on a laboratory test that showed elevated trace levels of lead, but follow-up testing found no lead contamination in the product. The USDA determined the original test result was a false positive caused by contamination in the laboratory during analysis, not in the food itself.
- You do not need to return or throw away these chicken nuggets
- They are safe to eat and use normally
