Does anyone know if any other groups have independently verified this? Bad batch? Potential contaminatdd samples?

  Depending on where the source crops are grown it could easily be a raw materials problem that nobody ever even considered as a possibility so they didn't test. As a related thing, consider arsenic in rice due to where it's grown. Edit: addressed here, with comparisons to other meals. Brown rice protein is the source. https://faq.soylent.com/hc/en-us/articles/204197379-California-Proposition-65 https://faq.soylent.com/hc/en-us/articles/204197379-Californ...

    When ordering ingredients in powder form from China in bulk batches, you get MSDS analysis. But in my experience you cannot rely on that info. I have received completely random papers from factories, which made me avoid China entirely when it come to ingredients for human consumption.

      In 2008 Trader Joe's pulled foods sourced from China of their shelves after one too many adulteration stories (not affecting their products AFAIK), I'm not sure if that still holds but clearly you're not the only one who has been concerned.
