After several YouTuber food reviews and unboxings, the Lunchables meal kit competitor ‘Lunchly,’ created in collaboration with content creators MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI, is being rumored to be discontinued.
Only a month after the announcement of the meal kit brand, there are now claims that ‘Lunchly’ was being pulled out from the shelves and even shown as “discontinued” on grocery shopping applications.
Are @Lunchly’s being discontinued?
Was just sent this photo that appears to show a @kroger store has the Lunchly Turkey Stack ‘Ems marked as DISCONTINUED.
If this is true, why so soon after initial release?
Where are the Turkey Stack ‘Ems??

When Lunchly was announced in September 2024, it caused an upsteer after veteran YouTuber DanTDM shared his disapproval of the brand, which received strong reactions from the Lunchly creators more notably KSI.
Rosana Pansino, a YouTuber with strong opinions against MrBeast shared that she found mold on the cheese product of one of the Lunchly variations “The Pizza,” during her filming of a food review of the meal kit.

Some were skeptical of the review at first until many others shared that they also found mold on their cheese, one content creator even made a her goal to disprove of Pansino’s claim only to actually found mold on the last box, after buying 22 boxes of the meal kit from different stores. “I didn’t expect mold, but i found mold,” the streamer aSpicyCow said on her tweet.
The whole reason I did this is because I did NOT believe the original source as she was clearly biased against mrbeast. So I wanted answers and bought every lunchly I could find 🤷♂️

There are some that theorized that the reason for the moldy cheese was the faulty glue application done for sealing the package of the meal kit, which causes the side of the cheese to get moldy.
decided to have a look into all the lunchly mold claims and the common denominator is faulty glue application.
Most commonly along the longest side to the corner with the cheese https://t.co/5QDRJ1Qry6 pic.twitter.com/eYbBSrbsTi

Several social media users shared their reactions from learning about the mold as well as the alleged discontinuation of the product.
It’s funny that one of Lunchly's biggest marketing points was “Lunchables uses fake cheese, we use real cheese” and they’re immediately finding out what happens if you do that. https://t.co/Lx6e9L88jK

Seems possible they got recalled due to the packaging issue but that means Lunchly was aware of the issue and still decided to release the pizza and nachos.
Someone needs to investigate this. pic.twitter.com/l2MvSHHxdY

You gotta understand. Moms may not go on Twitter but just one headline saying “the food your kid likes has MOLD in it” and it will be the talk of the town (in Mom Town). It’ll be 20 years later and they’ll still never buy it again. Lunchly is doomed https://t.co/te7IbAF4sQ

Bored sick at home so curious to see and so far every store website has Lunchly removed from being able to purchase. Checked the major grocery stores and Walmart but nothing. https://t.co/907v8imjqv pic.twitter.com/y1krBZSi9A

If this is likely discontinued in one store, I hope it’s discontinued for all stores. It’s a wrap for Lunchly. 💀Maybe next time, some “YouTubers” should make food that doesn’t contain mold in it.
But then again don’t. https://t.co/g0PvY3ZKZq

It is unclear if all products were being pulled out and discontinued but the Lunchly social media accounts have not addressed the cheese issue, and the meal kit being off the shelves.
While Logan Paul, one of the Lunchly brand creators, during a podcast shared his reaction by laughing and saying “I like my cheese moldy.”

The Food and Drug Administration is now allegedly reviewing Lunchly after several complaints were sent to them.
By the way, many stores refuse to sell, "Lunchly" because of FDA concerns…. Nice to see these grifters laugh about serving shitty products to children though, really shows you where their priorities are! 😃 pic.twitter.com/8DabEdrV0Y
