I really like Soylent and what Rosa Labs is doing, but I don't believe that they are a paragon of transparency. Some countries (e.g. Australia) require food products to be labeled with the percentage of each ingredient by mass, not just a list of ingredients in descending order, and I don't see that on my Soylent pouches. As demonstrated by OP's example, "honest industrial food" is incompatible with the economic principles under which the industry operates. Companies emphasize the information that makes their product more appealing, while concealing information that would aid their competitors or dissuade some consumers. Generally, food makers will only disclose the information that they are compelled to by law, and even then, they employ teams of food scientists and lawyers to maximize what can be hidden behind a label that is still technically compliant.
