TL;DR
  • aSpicyCow discovered mold on MrBeast's Lunchly meal boxes.
  • Concerns raised about quality control in influencer product lines.
  • MrBeast has not reacted to the accusations yet.

Twitch streamer aSpicyCow’s appetite for content turned bad when they uncovered mold in a MrBeast Lunchly meal during a live broadcast. Cow wanted to check what’s behind the Lunchly mold rumors and opened a bunch of boxes on stream to see if they are fine.

After just opening 22 boxes, they found one with moldy cheese. What started out as an innocent review of the new lunch box turned into a PR disaster for the newly established brand and its owner. Twenty-two is a fairly low number, which suggests that the mold problem with Lunchly is actually massive.

MrBeast previously celebrated an enormous success with his Feastables chocolate bars. But his latest venture into the world of packaged foods, however, leaves a bad taste in consumers’ mouths.

News reports surfaced in the past days claiming that many consumers found mold in Lunchly boxes. Now Twitch provided the proof. It’s not the first time MrBeast’s food-related ventures have come under fire. Beast Burger faced criticism for serving up uncooked chicken in the past.

Viewers were quick to point out the irony. Lunchly, inspired by the classic Lunchables, had marketed itself as a superior alternative. Now, it’s facing the same preservation issues it once mocked.

Food safety experts weigh in on the nasty mishap. They stress the importance of preservatives in packaged foods—a necessary evil to prevent exactly this kind of situation. Some suggest the problem might lie in faulty packaging that failed to properly seal the product. Any scenario would make the product flop.

As news of the moldy meal spreads, fans—and parents—are left wondering about the snacks in their kids’ lunchboxes. Perhaps Lunchly is the beginning of the end of food and beverages launched by streamers. After all, they all have to fight the same struggles as any other company in the industry.

MrBeast and his team have yet to comment on the situation. Jokes about “limited edition moldy meals” and “penicillin cheese” are already spreading faster in the community than the fungus itself.
