Abstract
The authors call for measures to protect recipients of lead-contaminated meat donated to U.S. food banks as a way to address the epidemic of lead poisoning in the country. Cited are how the contamination of hunted meat occurs, the risks of lead exposure to humans and wildlife posed by shooting lead ammunition into the environment, and the need of food safety standards for adulterated meat to prevent lead poisoning.
