Why is there lead in lunchables and some found in feminine products? Is this a by product of production or in the manufacturing? Is lead everywhere? Source for the feminine products https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/07/09/tampons-study-arsenic-lead-metals/74325568007/

Atoms and molecules don’t always stick together, they spread out all over the place.
One way to find traces anywhere of very common elements like lead is to test them with increasingly sensitive tests. At some point you are going to find lead.
Note the article never says how much lead was found, just a “measurable” amount. That should always trigger so e skeptcism. We have incredibly sensitive instruments, a “measurable” amount can be a completely insignificant amount.
