She wasn’t the only one making such claims, either; other users said they’d found mold in their Lunchly kits, as well, sharing videos of their discoveries on social media.
“I’m sure they will still not believe this is real, but maybe the dozens of other videos online showing moldy mozzarella cheese in Luchly’s will convince them,” Pansino said inan uncut video comparing Lunchlyto Lunchables.
“Again, please be careful eating these if you have them.”
On October 22, Lunchly contacted Dexerto with a statement regarding Pansino’s viral claims, assuring us that its products go through a rigorous testing phase in compliance with the USDA.
