In 2015, there was a salmonella outbreak originating from a well-known juice company.  The product hadn't been treated properly, leading to people getting sick.  In response, The City of Los Angeles and the LA Health Department began cracking down on local juice companies.  As the founders of Little West, Cass and Andrew Walker, watched it all unfold.  The health department would show up with black trash bags and would confiscate all of the juice.  The fridges were raided right in front of the customers' eyes, and the whole industry was in shock.

In this clip of our podcast, we spoke with Cass and Andrew Walker, the founders of Little West.  They watched the drama unfold and were in the industry as new regulations were rolled out.  This is a crazy story you won't want to miss.
