YOUTUBER MrBeast finds himself embroiled in a food scandal after Rosanna Pansino blasted his new snackbox brand.
Pansino was horrified to find moldy cheese inside a snack pack during her review of MrBeast’s Lunchly brand.
The YouTube trio that includes Logan Paul, MrBeast, and KSI launched a pre-packed school lunch called Lunchly on September 16, 2024.
Lunchly boxes include a bottle of Prime Hydration, a Feastables milk chocolate bar, and a processed food option like The Pizza, Turkey Stack ‘Ems, or Fiesta Nachos.
The brand faces harsh criticism, as well as Pansino, after MrBeast fans questioned the validity of her claims due to the bad history between the two YouTubers.

Who is Rosanna Pansino?
Born on June 8, 1985, in Seattle, Washington, Rosanna Pansino is an American YouTuber, baker, entrepreneur, and author.
She launched her YouTube channel in 2011 and has since garnered over 4.6 billion views.
Boasting over 14.5 million subscribers, she is one of the most-watched personalities on the platform.
She’s also reportedly one of the highest-paid content creators with a net worth of $9 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Pansino has authored two cookbooks, one of which became a New York Times bestseller.
In 2021, she hosted the show Baketopia on HBO Max.
What did Rosanna Pansino say about MrBeast?
Pansino posted her online review comparing Lunchly’s to the rival snackbox known as Lunchables on October 20, 2024.
Within seconds of opening the snack packs, she complained about finding moldy cheese in a Lunchly meal that was still two months away from its expiration date.
“This is disgusting,’ wrote Pansino on X.
“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 Lunchlys were moldy too.”
This is not the first time Pansino has criticized MrBeast and some fans have accused her of faking the Lunchly footage.
In response, Pansino took to her X page once again, this time posting an unedited clip of her review and said:
“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.”
The YouTube review also includes appearances from DogPack404 and Jake Weddle, who have been the most involved with the workplace allegations made against MrBeast on September 16, 2024.
Pansino also accused Mr Beast of editing her out of a video that is part of the YouTube Creator Games challenge, which she participated in in 2021.
In a guest appearance on fellow content creator Trisha Paytas‘ podcast Just Trish, Rosanna Pansino accused Mr Beast of editing her out of the Creator Games series, alongside other internet personalities including Logan Paul and Zach King.
In the game Extreme $1,000,000 Hide and Seek, influencers played a large-scale hide-and-seek game in SoFi Stadium in California.
Pansino claims that she came in third place, while magician Zach King and gamer Quackity came in first and second, but the final video posted on YouTube did not reflect that.
Instead, it showed that Zach King, Larray, and Logan Paul were the final three.
Pansino issued a statement on X, formerly Twitter, to explain further, but deleted her posts after receiving backlash.
“When the video was released I was shocked, disappointed, and felt hurt. MrBeast (Jimmy) had edited the video to make me look like I performed worse than I did,” she initially wrote.
“This was extra upsetting because I genuinely believed him when he said that his videos are ‘authentic and real.’”
She later backtracked and shared an apology, saying that she should have dealt with the issue privately.
“I would like to apologize to MrBeast,” she tweeted.
“I should have expressed my feelings privately and handled things directly.
“I will be removing all of the posts where I talk about Creator Games and Jimmy.
“I will be honest in that the thousands of death threats I’ve received today are a contributing factor, but I do also sincerely hear the feedback from so many of you.”

Has MrBeast spoken out about Rosanna Pansino?
MrBeast has yet to issue a statement regarding the mold scandal.
However, a spokesperson for Lunchly has insisted:
“All Lunchly products go through a stringent review process to ensure the quality and safety of its products.
“‘That process consists of multiple inspections and approvals, including that of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), before any product can even leave the manufacturing facility.”
