The meal-replacement maker said that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency [CFIA] is blocking sales of Soylent in the country.

"Our products do not meet a select few of the CFIA requirements for a 'meal replacement,'" Rob Rhinehart, Founder and CEO of Soylent-maker Rosa Foods, said in a letter to Canadian customers.

"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," he said.

In a statement, Rosa Foods said it "is working hard to resolve the categorization issue with the CFIA as quickly as possible so we can continue to provide complete, quality nutrition to our community in Canada." Until then, the company cannot ship any product to Canadian warehouses or sell Soylent to Canadian customers.

PSA: SoylentNews is not an important part of your balanced breakfast.

    You know, it's moderately terrifying how well you imitate him.

    People say, "oh, fake news, fake news, this can't be happening!" These are foolish people. It's not fake news. It's very, very real. Enjoy!

    I sometimes imagine that Trump actually found a quiet corner of the net to unwind without people noticing. The person behind the account is oddly dedicated to the task.

      Ummm...dedicated. Yeah. Sometimes I think the dude is so good we may be seeing the real McCoy, as it were.

      Maybe someone is testing an AI substitute for the US president ;).

      That way Trump can focus on his core stuff like groping and golf.
