Logan Paul revealed that Lunchly’s headquarters recently received a bomb threat, adding a dramatic twist to the controversy surrounding the ready-to-eat meal brand he launched with KSI and YouTube star MrBeast in September.

Paul shared on his Impaulsive podcast that the FBI traced the threat to an individual in London, despite Lunchly not distributing there. "It’s just crazy to me that we’re a $4 lunch kit, and in the first four weeks, our headquarters had a bomb threat," Paul said, expressing disbelief over the incident.

Lunchly, which includes Prime Hydration and a Feastables candy bar in its meal kits, faced criticism shortly after its release, with many consumers calling it unhealthy. The backlash intensified when customers reported mold on the cheese in Lunchly’s pizza version. YouTuber Rosanna Pansino fueled the uproar by posting a video review showing "fungus" on her pizza kit, even though it was two months before its expiration date. In response, Paul referred to Pansino as an “attention-hungry clout goblin,” adding, “It’s her whole identity to speak negatively on all things Mr Beast.”

Defending Lunchly’s safety, Paul stated, “The fact is, the USDA inspects every finished food lot and approves it before even leaving our facility. And yes, it’s possible the issues happen in transit like a seal breaking. But just like any produce you buy, problems can arise.” He further reassured customers, saying, “Our retail partners are great and they’ll offer a full refund, and we are happy to assist anyone at any time.”

The FDA has since received over ten complaints about Lunchly, including one alleging illness. The agency is now investigating these reports as Lunchly faces continued public scrutiny.
