“I had elevated liver levels and bacteria in my urine. They thought I had a UTI and gave me antibiotics for five days,” Abby explained.
She ended up returning home and finishing out the antibiotics. Immediately following the five days, though, Abby’s pain came back.
“It was even worse, and I had a 101.8 fever. So, I went to the E.R. a second time, and they tested me for everything– hepatitis, mono, gallstones… I also had a CAT scan, an ultrasound, and so much bloodwork done,” Abby continued.
Since that night a month ago, Abby’s doctors have not figured out the cause. Her liver levels have remained persistently high, and Abby is set to visit a liver specialist this week.
Additionally, the TikToker has read countless stories online of other Daily Harvest consumers reporting the same elevated levels with unknown causation.
“I have had to readjust my entire life the past month to deal with this,” Abby said.
She posted her story to TikTok as a “PSA” to throw out the product as soon as possible and contact Daily Harvest for retribution.
“This is not okay. I am not the kind of person to put a brand on blast, but this is serious; people are having very serious health issues,” Abby finished.
Daily Harvest has since published a statement on its website claiming to have “launched an investigation to identify the root cause of the health issues being reported.”
“We are working closely with the FDA and with multiple independent labs to investigate this. We are working with a group of experts to help us get to the bottom of this– that includes microbiologists, toxin and pathogen experts, as well as allergists,” the statement reads.
So far, the company has shared that “all pathogen and toxicology results have come back negative.”
