Customers of the meal plan service Daily Harvest say the company's French Lentil + Leek Crumbles gave them gastrointestinal problems.

The recall is not listed on the Food and Drug Administration's recall website, presumably because the product is sold direct to customers instead of through grocery stores. And while they are not meat, the company's website still advises cooking them to an internal temperature of 165℉, the same as chicken. "We launched an investigation to identify the root cause of the health issues being reported.

Daily Harvest Recalls Lentil Crumbles Following Reports of Severe ... (SELF)

A product made by meal delivery kid Daily Harvest, called French Lentil + Leek Crumbles, has reportedly caused severe illness in some consumers, ...

“We’ve received customer reports of French Lentil + Leek Crumbles causing gastrointestinal issues,” a statement from the company dated June 19 said. “All pathogen and toxicology results have come back negative so far, but we’re continuing to do extensive testing and will keep you updated,” the statement said. Last week, Daily Harvest posted a photo of the recalled product on Instagram, with the caption: “An important message regarding our French Lentil + Leek Crumbles. Link in bio with details.” Many criticized the company for vaguely alluding to a problem with the food, which is reportedly causing various health issues for many consumers, instead of clearly warning people about the risk of eating it. After receiving an email from Daily Harvest explaining the risk associated with the food she consumed, she now believes her symptoms—which are still being monitored—were connected to the product. One Twitter user claimed they spent time in the E.R., while Reddit users alleged the crumbles caused liver damage and food poisoning symptoms (like vomiting). TikTok user Abby Silverman also documented her experience after eating the crumbles, explaining that she started having “extreme stomach and gastro pain” the day after eating the crumbles, which she received as a P.R. gift. She went to the emergency room, where, she says, doctors noted “elevated liver levels” and bacteria in her urine and incorrectly diagnosed her with urinary tract infection.
