America’s biggest berry empire doesn’t actually grow berries.
Driscoll’s is the middleman that controls the genetics, reaps the profits, and then shifts blame.
A whistleblower alleges the Canadian government repeatedly flagged their berries for exceeding pesticide limits.
I think this is the organization mentioned in the video:
The whole point of Driscolls is they provide fruit all year around.
Which would be great if they weren’t so focused on profit over everything (capitalism, amiright) and actually provided a good service. Instead it’s coin toss between getting toxic, flavourless crap or an edible berry that won’t give you ass cancer.
