Special Friday Before Black Friday Update
3) There may still be unprepared pouches of Soylent 1.? at my brother's apartment, waiting to be sold to Redditors for potentially hundreds of dollars, if I want nerd blood on my hands.
My brother was unable to find the pouches, so I assumed that he'd just thrown them away and forgotten about it. A few days ago, I reminded him of how many hundredths of a bitcoin we could have had if he hadn't flushed that white, salty, pancake-batter-y gold down the toilet, and his girlfriend told us that she was the one who threw them out because:
"It made my dad sick and
the website says it's illegal in Canada now."
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recently informed us that our products do not meet a select few of the CFIA requirements for a “meal replacement.” Although we feel strongly that these requirements do not reflect the current understanding of human nutritional needs, we respect the CFIA’s regulations and will fully comply with any regulatory action they deem appropriate. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to ship any additional product to our Canadian warehouses or sell Soylent to our Canadian customers until this is resolved.
I want to reiterate that we are absolutely committed to working with Health Canada and the CFIA to resolve this as quickly as possible, but we don’t have enough information at this time to share any timing. In order to keep all of you fully up to speed on our progress, we will be sending out regular updates. In the meantime, we have posted a detailed FAQ to share all the information we have at our disposal. We sincerely apologize for this product disruption, and we hope to be back selling in our favorite country to the North soon.
So as you can see, because of her prudish and judgmental nature, I will never be rich! Why is life so unfair?!
Bonus:
Soylent is committed to providing positive nutrition in the United States and around the world. In 2016, we donated over one million meals to those in need. We continue to donate to partner organizations like the World Food Program's Innovation Accelerator and food banks across the country. And we work with physicians as we develop new products to increase access to complete nutrition.
