Did we read the same article? That article has _nothing_ to do with their product testing. It has everything to do with Prop 65 and labeling. To quote TFA:
> But legalities and press releases aside, from a practical health perspective, none of this may matter: as Soylent notes, Prop 65's guidelines are notoriously stringent, pulling many everyday products into its labeling regime — and outside California, there are other more broadly accepted sets of lead and cadmium guidelines that the product meets.

Present tense.. they _had_ major shipping and supply problems at launch. They don't seem to anymore.
- DanBC 11y agoThey didn't put prop 65 stickers on the product, even though the absurdly low limits of prop 65 required the warning. That might be because they didn't test the product well enough to detect those very low levels; or because they think prop 65 is bogus; or because they just didn't realise it was a thing. None of those are great for a food product. (Although I agree the prop 65 labelling is so strict it becomes worthless.)
