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 think this is the organization mentioned in the video:

    I didn’t rule out people liking water-tasting berries…

    I did watch, the experiment was Driscoll v Driscoll v Driscoll v other brand, not a very scientific one. Since it’s all contractors you hardly know from the box, which farm it is coming from anyway. In my personal experience, the best tasting berries I’ve had are from Europe while I was visiting.
