 other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may have an adverse impact on global temperatures, weather
patterns and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters. In the event that climate change has a negative effect
on agricultural productivity, we may be subject to decreased availability or less favorable pricing for certain commodities that are
necessary for our products, such as avocados, bananas, pineapples, blueberries and other fresh produce. As a result of climate change,
we may also be subjected to decreased availability of water, deteriorated quality of water or less favorable pricing for water, which
could adversely impact our manufacturing and distribution operations, as well as the agricultural businesses of our suppliers, which
rely on the availability and quality of water.

Our
production equipment may be damaged, adversely affecting our ability to meet consumer and wholesale demand.

A
significant proportion of our products are produced at our contract manufacturers’ facilities in South America. A significant disruption
at those facilities or to any of our key production equipment, even on a short-term basis, could impair our ability to timely produce
and ship products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations. In the past,
we have had manufacturing delays due to damaged and malfunctioning equipment, shipping delays, U.S. port congestion and delays, and cannot
fully insure against the effects of such delays on our business. The manufacturing operations of our suppliers are vulnerable to interruption
and damage from natural and other types of disasters, including earthquake, fire, floods, volcanic events, draughts, environmental accidents,
winter storms, power loss, disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, communications failures and similar
events. If any disaster were to occur at one of these facilities, our ability to operate our business would be seriously impaired.

Damage
to our brand’s reputation could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Our
financial success is directly dependent on the consumer perception of our brand. The success of our brand may suffer if our marketing
plans or product initiatives do not have the desired impact on our brand’s image or its ability to attract consumers. Further,
our results could be negatively affected if our brand suffers substantial damage to its reputation due to real or perceived quality issues
or other actions by the Company or any of its executives.

We
rely on big box retailers for a substantial portion of our sales, and our failure to maintain and further develop our sales channels
could harm our business
