Rosanna Pansino has taken to X to express her thoughts on what a "source close to MrBeast's operation" reportedly said about her amid the Lunchly mold controversy. For those unaware, Pansino went viral on October 20, 2024, after apparently discovering "a ton of mold" while unpacking Lunchly’s The Pizza.
While referring to the situation as "disgusting," the 39-year-old claimed that "at least a dozen other people" reported that the Lunchly they bought were moldy:
"This is disgusting. I was filming a video comparing Lunchables to Lunchly and was shocked when I opened 'The Pizza' Lunchly. The cheese had mold! The expiration date was still two months away! I checked online and found at least a dozen other people posting that their Lunchly's were moldy, too."
Trending
With her post garnering over 21 million views, some netizens accused Pansino of lying about the food brand founded by MrBeast, Logan Paul, and Olajide "KSI."
The YouTuber later posted a three-minute-14-second unedited video of herself unpacking the ready-made food product and wrote:
"Had a lot of MrBeast fans spread the lie that I was faking the moldy Lunchly vid and would never post the full clip with no cuts. Well, here you go. 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. Again, please be careful eating these if you have them."
On October 22, 2024, Rosanna Pansino reacted to what a "source close to MrBeast's operation" allegedly said about her in response to the controversy. According to Newsweek, the source said the following about the content creator:
"Consider the source."
Newsweek have since updated their report stating "a source familiar with the product said to 'consider the context and the source.'"
While claiming that the most-subscribed YouTuber's team is "now trying to do damage control," Pansino questioned whether MrBeast's PR team are going "to be smearing" her. She added:
"So MrBeast's team is now trying to do damage control to the press. Did someone from MrBeast's team seriously just try to imply that I faked the mold in the Lunchly I bought? Is their PR move going to be smearing me when there are dozens of other reports of mold in their food? Is this their mysterious spokesperson who always downplays serious allegations on Jimmy's behalf?"
DogPack404 claims people "haven't been able to get" Lunchly's Turkey Stack 'Ems as mold controversy continues
On October 23, 2024, former MrBeast employee DogPack404 claimed on X that people "haven't been able to get" Lunchly's Turkey Stack 'Ems. He also asked the online community to send him a picture of a shelf from a store containing the food and beverage product, writing:
"Has anyone actually seen the turkey cracker Lunchlys in stores? Everyone I've talked to hasn't been able to get them. Also if anyone happens to be at a store that carries Lunchly and can send me a picture of the shelf, I'd appreciate it. It's for a school project."
As of this writing, neither MrBeast, Logan Paul, nor KSI has officially responded to the mold controversy.
