It seems folks might be getting a surprise when they open their Lunchly — and it’s not a kids’ toy or special dessert. A new video from a food YouTuber showed them apparently discovering mold in the Lunchable rival from popular creators MrBeast, Logan Paul and KSI.
Rosanna Pansino, a popular food YouTuber with 14.5 million subscribers, posted a video on Sunday trying out Lunchly. And in that video, which has already racked up more than half a million views, she says she discovers mold in the cheese of the Lunchly. We obviously cannot independently verify Pansino actually discovered mold — it is something you could fake — but she does explicitly state in the video description that the “video is not faked.”
You can watch the 20-minute video for yourself.
Pansino sets up a video comparing Lunchly to Lunchables. It’s a sensible idea for a video, considering Lunchly is basically a YouTuber-endorsed version of the classic kids’ meal. Lunchly has “Fiesta Nachos,” “The Pizza,” and “Turkey Stack ‘Ems,” which come with MrBeast’s Feastables chocolate and a bottle of Paul’s Prime drink.

In the video, Pansino appears to open a pizza Lunchly only to discover what seems to be mold on the shredded mozzarella cheese, despite the packaging saying it was good for another couple of months. Upon assembling the mini pizza with the moldy cheese, Pansino gags and again states she did not fake the mold.
“It’s so much mold, this is terrible,” she says in the video. “I just want you guys to know I did not fake this. I was honestly going to go over nutritional facts and differences between the two.”
Later in the video, Pansino compares a moldy Lunchly to one that was not moldly and points out that the seal might not have been tight on the one that apparently produced mold. Other videos online have claimed to show mold on their Lunchly’s cheese, indicating perhaps this is not an uncommon problem.
None of the creators behind Lunchly have addressed the mold claims online. Lunchly declined to respond to a request for comment.
