Target ends relationship with troubled food startup Hampton Creek
San Francisco
TARGET Corp will no longer sell products made by food startup Hampton Creek Inc after an internal review, the latest major blow to the beleaguered maker of Just Mayo eggless mayonnaise and other plant-based foods.
The retail giant decided to end the relationship about two months after receiving what it described as "specific and serious food safety allegations about Hampton Creek products". Target pulled the San Francisco company's products from its shelves in June while it looked into the matter and shared the claims with the US Food and Drug Administration.
