Amazon just "picks and packs" your product. They don't manufacture it for you. I'm sure 90% of Soylent's supply chain issues aren't in the shipping process but in raw material procurement and manufacture.

The article mentions just that:

"First and foremost, we will be significantly expanding our manufacturing and shipping capabilities. This process has already begun with two new manufacturers that will ramp up our production to more than fifty times its previous rate allowing us to vigorously tackle our order backlog while working toward imminent real-time shipping fulfillment."

I believe production was also halted due to an issue with gas? Too many people complained so they refactored the recipe.
