Lawsuit claims about 50% of shipments from 2022-24 had fruit exceeding Canadian safety levels
Driscoll’s berries are on many Canadians’ plates and all over Canadian grocery stores, with their tagline claiming to be “only the finest berries.”
But a whistleblower lawsuit in California alleges the finest berries were not sent to Canada: instead, millions of pounds of fruit containing non-compliant levels of pesticides and chemicals crossed the border, and the company tried to cover it up.
California resident and former Driscoll’s employee David Harada claims in the lawsuit that by Driscoll’s own estimates, about 50 per cent of all shipments to Canada from 2022 to 2024 had fruit that exceeded Canadian safety levels.
I just learned a few months ago about how unsafe these berries are to eat. My family and I avoid this company’s products at all costs now.
I just learned this. I wonder if my lips tingling was because of this and not just being fruit.
hence why im always washing the berries before consumption
Not all hems can be washed simply by rinsing , others are within. Otherwise simple rain would do the job .
it disgusts me how many people just don’t wash their produce before eating it.
It even says on the lid as you open the discolls “wash berries”.
Driscoll is evil.
