Meghan Markle’s Jam Brand Faces Backlash Over Alleged Food Poisoning Scandal
Meghan Markle's latest venture into the food industry with her strawberry jam brand, American Riviera Orchard, has stirred up controversy after reports of food poisoning surfaced.
The Cali District Attorney has issued a 60-day notice of violation to Meg's Jam brand, following allegations of severe upset stomachs, explosive diarrhea, and night sweats linked to the consumption of the product.
One of Prince Harry's close friends, NachoFagin, was recently spotted endorsing Meghan's jam on social media.
In an Instagram post, NachoFagin shared a photo of himself enjoying the jam on toast, proudly displaying the American Riviera Orchard label.
He mentioned that Meghan had distributed 50 special jars to friends and influencers, including his wife, Delfina.
However, the product promotion received mixed reactions from royal fans.
Critics of the jam promotion under Nacho's post expressed discomfort, with one fan stating that Meghan should not be used for self-promotion by others.
Another commenter described the marketing tactics as embarrassing and shameful, while a different user felt that it appeared forced.
Despite the negative feedback, Nacho and Meghan were seen together with Prince Harry at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge, generating further buzz.
Amidst the controversy surrounding Meghan's jam, unconfirmed sources have reported safety concerns regarding the product, leading to its alleged ban by the Food Safety Department.
Speculations arose about the quality of the jam, with comments on YouTube jokingly suggesting that NachoFagin had been hospitalized due to severe diarrhea, with Prince Harry rushing to his side.
The scrutiny faced by Harry and Meghan extends beyond their jam business, with former BBC journalist Michael Cole questioning the couple's new Netflix projects.
Cole viewed the Sussexes' transition to commercial ventures as a downgrade from their previous royal status, which had served as a unique selling point.
Royal expert Tom Quinn also weighed in on the reception of Harry and Meghan's Netflix show at Kensington Palace, indicating a lack of enthusiasm within the royal circle.
Filming the Netflix show at a polo event raised eyebrows within the palace, with senior royals perceiving it as an attempt to profit from royal traditions.
