Soylent has to adhere to all those same standards.
- fingerprinter 13y agoNo it won't, in the US at least. It will likely not need FDA approval just like most sports supplement don't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_food_and_dietary_supplements_by_the_U.S._Food_and_Drug_Administration#Dietary_supplements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_food_and_dietary_...
- asdasf 13y agoDid you even read that? It says you are wrong. >The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 mandated that the FDA regulate dietary supplements as foods Soylent has to adhere to the exact same standards as all the other food you buy right now.
- fingerprinter 13y agoYou either needed to read more or more closely. According to wikipedia linked: "Like other food substances, dietary supplements are not subject to the safety and efficacy testing requirements imposed on drugs, and unlike drugs they do not require prior approval by the FDA; however, they are subject to the FDA regulations regarding adulteration and misbranding. The FDA can take action against dietary supplements only after they are proven to be unsafe. "
- asdasf 13y agoNo, you need to read more closely. It says exactly what I said. Soylent is covered under the exact same requirements as all other foods. This is very simple to understand, and I honestly can't imagine how you can possibly be having difficulty with this.
