Canada Reportedly Bans Soylent Sales

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has reportedly banned sales and distribution of Soylent meal-replacement drinks because they “do not meet a select few of the CFIA requirements.” In a letter posted on Soylent’s website, Rosa Foods’ CEO Rob Rhinehart said the CFIA informed the company of its decision. Rhinehart said Soylent is working with CFIA regarding regulatory compliance issues and that the company is committed to making the product available to Canadian customers as soon as possible.

“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,” Rhinehart said in the letter.
