Soylent, based in Los Angeles, California, has issued a recall for 890 boxes of “Soylent 1.8 Powder,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This product may contain milk, which was undeclared on the package’s labeling.
Soylent explained in its voluntary recall that a small amount of whey powder, which contains the milk allergen, may have been accidentally added to one production lot of the Soylent powder during the manufacturing process at a third-party production facility. 890 boxes (containing 7 x 15-ounce pouches) of the compromised nutrient powder were shipped to 610 customers.
The affected boxes of Soylent 1.8 powder (SKU: 1WK-V108) are marked with the Lot # G7076PA on the front of the individual product pouches. The packaging is also stamped with an expiration / “best by” date of 02/2018.
People who are allergic to milk run the risk of illness or life-threatening anaphylaxis shock if they consume this lot of Soylent 1.8 powder. They are advised either to throw the pouches away or to return them to the store for a complete refund or replacement.
