Ya, but it seems to me that's exactly what happened here. They pulled the batch numbers that were contaminated.

I guess I don't really see the difference. This isn't unprecedented in the packaged food industry, and it doesn't seem like they're handling it any worse than any other company has.

It is in that Soylent used an experimental ingredient which had not been shown to be appropriate for this use.

Which ingredient is expiremental? The one that is "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA? Doesn't sound very expiremental to me if the FDA has already fully tested and formulated a rating for it.
