When Soylent launched they made several misleading, unethical, medical, claims. They've since dropped every single one of those. Soylent have had a number of product recalls. They don't have a huge volume of product, and they've only been in business for a short time, so it's a bit worrying that they haven't fixed their problems. Some people think that when you're raising money from the public you should be honest. Some people think that when you're providing a safety critical product you should be competent. There's also an element of backlash against the massive hype / very successful marketing - we see this with any product.
