Understandably, my nearly 350 clients sickened by Daily Harvest French Lentil + Leek Crumbles (and possibly additional products) are frightened and angered by the lack of information about the contaminant in the tara, that according the the FDA, has hospitalized over 100 with symptoms consistent with acute liver failure. Dozens of people have had their gall bladders removed, as well as several with liver biopsies.

How deep do you need the shelves to be? Do you need casters? If adding casters, this will add a minimum of 5" to the height of your shelving system. Where is the shelving going?

Nearly a month ago I urged the FDA to follow Frank Sinatra’s advice to “float down to Peru.” I do not know if the FDA has, but they long ago should have. As you know, I have sued Daily Harvest , and after asking who manufactured the French Lentil + Leek Crumbles, and being rebuffed, I was able to determine that the manufacturer was Stone Gate , and they were brought into the litigation.

Restaurants must keep innovating to elevate the diner experience. It’s a tough time to be in the restaurant business. Food prices are soaring amidst supply chain disruptions, increasing labor costs, and processing plant shutdowns. Poultry prices are up 15 percent to 18 percent ; the cost of eggs has risen 73 percent. The food service industry is scrambling to keep up with these new costs, pushing the price of a restaurant meal to a 40-year high.

At some point in the not too distant future through the process of litigation, Daily Harvest, Stone Gate and Revive will be forced to both tell me the source of the Tara (and why they used it) and to provide samples to test. It does beg the question as to why they will not willingly provide the information and the samples now? Through a private lab, we have been testing dozens of French Lentil + Leek Crumbles and Pineapple and Mango Smoothie samples – as has the FDA and presumably Daily Harvest
