Ars Technica reports, following online reports of customers becoming ill after eating Soylent's new snack bars, the company announced this afternoon [October 13] that it has decided to halt all sales and shipments of the bars as a precautionary measure. The company is urging customers to discard remaining bars and will begin e-mailing customers individually regarding refunds. In a blog announcing the decision, the company said it is still investigating the cause of bouts of illnesses of customers linked to the bars, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

    ...any mold is too much mold.

    Hey, I like Brie and Camembert which are partly created by mold.

    Everyone's so serious in this thread? Come on, Soylent Green was made from people and cannibalism is not the way to go (example: mad cow disease passed around from feeding cows to cows). There ought to be a joke in there somewhere...

    The problem with this batch of Soylent was the people used to create it. They were expired.
