Meal replacement drink Soylent will launch in the UK on Thursday with a different formula to its US equivalent.
The firm has replaced seven ingredients and adjusted the mineral and vitamin content to comply with British regulations.
Soylent was withdrawn from Canada in 2017 after the Food Inspection Agency found it did not meet their standards for "meal replacement".
The firm said it was working with Canadian authorities to reinstate it.
A food bar version was also recalled in the country in 2016 following reports that it made some people ill.
I've never had any interest in these "meal replacement drinks" myself*. And after reading the article, I have even less interest: if it's all I'm consuming in a day, then I want it to be more enjoyable than just a chalky drink that doesn't really taste of anything.
* - Well, actually, 'never' is a slight exaggeration. The 15-year-old me would have loved them, because he ate strictly to stay alive. But, those days are long gone now .
