The Canadian Food
Inspection Agency says Rosa Foods Inc. is recalling Soylent food bars after
some consumers became sick.
It doesn’t say
what caused the illnesses, how many people are involved or how serious their
illnesses are.
Soylent is an
engineered food that is marketed via the internet as a drink, as powder, coffee
or food bar.
The company website
says “all of our products use bioengineered algae as a
source of lipids and essential omega fatty acids. Produced efficiently in
bioreactors, rather than on farmland, these single-celled organisms require far
less resources than traditional agriculture.”
Only the food bars
are under recall now.
There is nothing
about the recall on the website of the Public Health Canada Agency.
