The company said it only used the ingredient in its “French Lentil + Leek Crumbles” product.
from people who say they became sick after consuming the product. Two of the lawsuits were filed against the company and the product’s manufacturer on behalf of two children, including a 4-month-old who was breastfeeding.
Bill Marler, an attorney representing the families, said he was “not surprised” by Daily Harvest’s announcement, and said he told the company’s lawyer that tara flour was the likely culprit, given that the lentil dish was the only item that contained it. Marler said he has more than 250 clients in connection with the Daily Harvest complaints with potential claims against the company.He said neither Daily Harvest, the FDA, nor his lab had confirmed yet whether the tara flour contains a toxin or a chemical, for instance, that is making people sick.Daily Harvest did not immediately respond to request for comment Tuesday.
The company previously said its testing had ruled out common food-borne pathogens, major allergens, pesticide, Hepatitis A, norovirus and a range of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are a type of toxin produced by fungus that can grow on grains and seeds. The company said in a previous statement to NBC News that it does not comment on pending or potential litigation. Daily Harvest emphasized, however, that it initiated a recall as soon as it received reports of customer illnesses, is working with the FDA to investigate, and reached out multiple times to customers who bought the lentil product.This story originally appeared on
