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.

They'll add a squirt of maple syrup and it will then meet all the Canadian nutritional requirements.

Allegedly it was also not high enough in bacon.

Nothing is high enough in bacon. Not even bacon.
