Daily Harvest hit with lawsuits from people who say they had their gallbladders removed after consuming its product

Daily Harvest, a direct-to-consumer brand that relied on a network of online influencers to promote its products, announced earlier this month the voluntary recall of its French Lentil and Leek Crumbles after people who consumed it reported becoming ill. Several influencers told CNN Business last week that they spent time in the hospital with mysterious symptoms that puzzled doctors, including intense gastrointestinal pain and extremely elevated liver enzymes.

Daily Harvest said it does not comment on pending litigation, but stressed the steps it has taken to address "an adverse reaction" to its French Lentil and Leek Crumbles. "We have reached out multiple times directly to consumers who received the product, instructing them to dispose of it and not eat it. In parallel, we launched an investigation to identify the root cause, working closely with the FDA, multiple independent labs, and a group of experts that includes microbiologists, toxin and pathogen experts as well as allergists," the company said in a statement. "All pathogen and toxicology results have come back negative so far, but we're continuing to do extensive testing so we can get to the bottom of this. Everyone who has been affected deserves an answer, and we are committed to making this right."

Last week, the company posted an update on its website saying that it had received approximately 470 reports of illness or adverse reactions, and that approximately 28,000 units of the recalled product were distributed to customers in the United States from April 28 to June 17.

Lentils, poop, bugs and Bill Gates fake substances are what the UN is promoting as food for the world slaves these days.

All is a days work at population reduction.

“...to identify the root cause...”

What kind of root were they using?

There was a fairly humorous episode of “ Schitt’s Creek” that had Eugene Levy trafficking in raw milk.

Mine was as big as a turkey egg. Doc said if I had waited any longer I’d be dead, because the gall bladder was gangrenous and ruptured the moment after he removed it. Wouldn’t let me keep the gallstone, guess he wanted it as a trophy.
