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 rarely even see Driscoll's brand berries that aren't already moldy on the store shelves. When I worked Fresh at Walmart, we'd end up dumping 1/4 to 1/2 of the product from them because they were already moldy on the truck. And these are from local producers here around the Valley, it's not a matter of them being in transit hella long.
