Two New York state residents allege that the mango and pineapple smoothies they drank from frozen-food delivery service Revive Superfoods caused severe illness and led to hospital stays, according to separate lawsuits filed Monday against the company.
The Canada-based company, which markets its bowls, smoothies and soups as a convenient way for consumers to access nutritious foods, sold food that was “defective and unreasonably dangerous” and “contaminated by a substance injurious to human health,” the lawsuits allege.Revive did not respond to emails seeking comment, and as of Monday afternoon, it had not issued any public communication on the matter. It no longer sells the mango-and-pineapple smoothies, according to its website.
After the Daily Harvest outbreak began drawing attention last month, Revive removed its mango-and-pineapple smoothie, which appears to be its only product containing tara. Onand social media, people alleged that they had been hospitalized for pain and nausea and subsequently diagnosed with severe liver and gallbladder issues after consuming the fruit beverage.
Bill Marler, the food-safety attorney representing people claiming to have been sickened by both companies’ products and who filed the lawsuits on Monday, says he has about 300 clients with complaints against Daily Harvest and more than two dozen for Revive.The ingredient at issue is derived from the seeds of the tara tree, which is native to South America. The Daily Harvest crumble listed merely “tara” as an ingredient on its label, but later described it as “tara flour.
“Sharing preliminary information on the investigation may mislead consumers in believing that a specific ingredient was the cause of an illness or outbreak when in fact it was later ruled out of being linked to an adverse event,” the statement read.Consumer Reports senior food scientist Michael Hansen said it isn’t clear how similar the tara flour and tara protein are or if they are the same ingredient going by different names.
