Frozen vegan food delivery service Daily Harvest is the latest startup to announce layoffs. A source with knowledge of the situation says the cuts cover 15% of employees. The company declined to comment.
The layoffs come as the New York City–based startup last valued at $1.1 billion grapples with a food safety issue that has created a firestorm on social media. On June 17, the company issued a voluntary recall of its French Lentil + Leek Crumbles, part of a new product line that Daily Harvest rolled out in April.
Daily Harvest told employees during an all-hands meeting on Friday that the layoffs were planned before the crumbles issue and were related to the inflationary pressures the company had outlined for employees at another meeting in May, according to a source familiar with the matter.
