Daily Harvest

Daily Harvest is the food company at the center of The sneaky way companies get new chemicals into our food. The Planet Money episode focuses on its lentil and leek crumble, which contained Tara Flour and was linked in the source to severe illness, liver problems, and gallbladder removals.

The page matters because Daily Harvest turns Food Additive Regulation from an abstract legal system into a consumer-product failure. The source says customers who accepted the company’s terms of service faced [[ConsumerArbitrationBarrier|arbitration limits]], while non-signers helped litigation move forward and expose the Smirks and [[MolinosPeru|Molinos]] supply chain through Food Safety Litigation Discovery.

The episode also says Daily Harvest was later purchased by Chobani. That sale is presented as part of the limited-consequence frame rather than as evidence that Chobani caused the earlier product problem.
