Vegan meal-kit company Daily Harvest has identified tara flour as the cause of a mystery illness that befell hundreds of consumers from April through June.
“We have only used this ingredient in French Lentil + Leek Crumbles and we are no longer sourcing from this producer who does not provide any ingredients for our 140+ other items. This was the first and only time we’ve used tara flour,” company founder Rachel Drori wrote in a recent update to a recall advisory.
Daily Harvest launched a voluntary recall and internal investigation after it “received approximately 470 reports of illness or adverse reactions … approximately 28,000 units of the recalled product were distributed to customers in the United States from April 28 to June 17,” according to CNN Business.
