Companies including Target and Eataly have pulled Mario Batali's products after multiple allegations of groping and sexual misconduct were made against the celebrity chef.

Target announced Wednesday it would pull Batali's pasta sauces and cookbooks from stores and online, Eater reported. Eataly, the 50,000-square-foot mecca of Italian food Batali helped bring to the US, pulled the chef's products from shelves on Tuesday.

On Monday, Eater reported that four women had shared stories of Batali touching them inappropriately, with reports of improper behavior spanning two decades.
