The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) continue their investigation of Soylent Green, which
has been found to contain people and people-related compounds. Based on
information currently available, FDA and USDA believe the likelihood of
illness after eating Soylent Green would be very low. The agencies are
taking certain actions out of an abundance of caution. As announced on
April 26, Soylent Green known to have been adulterated (ie, contaminated
with adults) will not be approved to enter the food supply.

As reported on April 22 by FDA, the Agency determined that plankton protein
concentrate imported from China was contaminated with people and
people-related compounds. As part of the ongoing investigation, FDA has
determined the plankton protein was used in the production of Soylent
Green.

At this time, we have no evidence of harm to humans associated with the
Soylent Green, and therefore no recall of the product is being issued.
Testing and the joint investigation continue. If any evidence surfaces to
indicate there is harm to humans, the appropriate action will be taken.
