Key Takeaways
- MrBeast denies the mold allegations, saying that Lunchly products leave the company mold-free.
- The manufacturer blames factory aftercare for the mold problem, saying the seal may have broken in transit.
MrBeast shared his thoughts on the mold controversy that has arisen around Lunchly products. YouTuber's Lunchly caught the attention and upset reports that some shoppers found moldy cheese in the product.
Lunch is a collaboration between MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI. The trio introduced products such as Lunchables, which seemed to create instant buzz and excitement. One of the most alarming reports came in October, when YouTuber Rosanna Pansino posted a video saying she had found mold on the cheese she bought for lunch. There have also been additional reports saying the same thing, as well as recalls, which are actually fake.

MrBeast broke the last silence
MrBeast announces the conclusion of the investigation into the allegations against his company and announces changes to improve the workplace culture.
Now, speaking in an interview with Oompaville, MrBeast addressed the mold allegations. Accusing Lunchly of being “stupid”, MrBeast pointed out that the products are USDA inspected and mold free when they leave his factory. He went on to say that they have “the best experts in the world” testing the products. He also pointed to other products, and said that people can find many reports of people saying the same thing about the mold in other products that are similar to lunch, although he did not call the brand such as Lunchables in even his name.
MrBeast's claims are similar to those of Logan Paul
MrBeast went on to state that the manufacturer has no control over how the product is treated after it leaves the factory. In addition to blaming refrigeration issues, such as products being left on the shelf and returned to the refrigerator, or a buyer's refrigerator not working properly, MrBeast suggested that it could be the seal will be broken when the product is shipped. Logan Paul said more or less the same thing in October when he defended the brand, noting specifically that the USDA examines everything before it leaves the factory and that the seal may be broken in transit.
Because Lunchly products are still being shipped and manufactured, the USDA and FDA have apparently not found any major issues with the manufacturing and packaging process. It remains to be seen if there will be more complaints about the mold, but it seems likely that there was some type of improper handling of the product after it was shipped and led to the mold. However, while Lunchly wasn't MrBeast's first foray into the food industry, his previous efforts with Feastables and Beast Burger weren't without controversy either.
