Soylent recalls another product amid gastrointestinal mayhem

I’ll just drop this here:


TL;DR version: There is no hygiene whatsoever around the packing. I understand they’ve moved since this, but for someone to think that what’s shown here in the packing room is ever ok is nuts.
The quick hits:

  1. A rat running around.
  2. A “packing room” full of open bins and people dressed in street clothes.
  3. Ingredients of dubious origin (no evidence of testing to ensure they’ve gotten what they’ve ordered…)
  4. No masks or breathing apparatus for those packing the powders.
  5. Powders being measured volumetrically (instead of by weight).

It’s just a shit show.
Every nutritionist I’ve ever spoken to about this stuff starts off by laughing in your face, and they (if they’re patient) will outline why it’s a stupid idea full of hubris.
