Soylent still doesn’t know what’s making its Food Bar customers so sick, but the meal replacement company isn’t taking any more chances. On Wednesday, Soylent announced it was halting all sales and shipments of the product and asking customers to throw out any remaining Food Bars “as a precautionary measure.” 
 
 “After hearing from our customers, we immediately began investigating the cause of the issue and whether it was linked to a problem with the Bars,” wrote the company in a blog post. “So far we have not yet identified one and this issue does not appear to affect our other drinks and powder.”

 Earlier this month, posters on the Soylent subreddit began falling violently ill after eating the company’s Food Bars, experiencing symptoms that included severe stomach pain, intense vomiting and “uncontrollable” diarrhea. Some even ended up in the emergency room, but as recently as last week Soylent continued to stand by the safety of their product. 
 
 “After these reports, we have retrieved remaining bars from our consumers and have personally consumed many of the remaining bars without adverse effects,” the company told Gizmodo in a statement last Thursday. “We have also sent them for further microbiological testing and all tests have come back negative. Based on this we remain very confident in the safety of the bars.”

 Wednesday’s blog post, however, seemed to indicate that Soylent is now taking the mysterious illness affecting their customers more seriously. 
 
 “We are deeply sorry if any customer had any negative experiences after eating a Soylent Bar,” wrote the company. “Our customers place an enormous amount of trust in us each and every time they place an order. We in turn owe it to our customers to prioritize their health and well-being above all else.”

 Those Soylent Food Bars, the ones making some consumers violently ill, you’ll want to go ahead and get rid of those. The company is halting shipments, it announced in a blog post Wednesday, and it advises customers to discard "any remaining bars in their possession." 
 
 "After hearing from our customers, we immediately began investigating the cause of the issue and whether it was linked to a problem with the bars," the blog post reads. "So far we have not yet identified one and this issue does not appear to affect our other drinks and powder." 
 
 Soylent will contact Food Bar customers via email and offer full refunds. 
 
 After possible health issues first came to light on Soylent’s forums, the company said it had received complaints about "less than 0.03 percent of the number of bars we have sold," and it attributed the illnesses to individual allergies or intolerances to specific ingredients in the bars. Now, Soylent is taking a more conciliatory tone. 
 
 "Though our investigation into this matter continues, we have decided to err on the side of caution and take this preventative step," the post reads. "We are deeply sorry if any customer had any negative experiences after eating a Soylent bar."

– Soylent started out by suggesting all those people violently ill after eating their meal replacement bars were just sensitive. Not so anymore. The company is asking customers to throw out all of its Food Bars while it halts sales and shipments of the product, reports Gizmodo. However, Soylent—which is offering full refunds for the wasted products, per Eater—still doesn't know what is causing vomiting, stomach pain, and "uncontrollable" diarrhea in some customers, a few of whom have ended up in the emergency room. It says this latest move is "a precautionary measure" while it investigates. Meanwhile, customers have been posting to the company website describing their ordeals, and the Guardian highlights one comment with an intriguing detail: “There was a bright green liquid/gelatinous substance on the inner wrapper of today’s bar,” one person wrote. "I ate it anyways, confident in my ability to digest anything natural. It otherwise smelled and tasted fine.” Unfortunately, vomiting and diarrhea ensued. (The company's CEO got in hot water over his "experimental living facility.")
