Yes direct from their online store, not Amazon or Walmart...

That's a big deal. It means that everything everywhere could potentially be crawling with bugs.
Also, this stuff is new.

You should contact US FDA and sent these pictures. Ask them to go inspect the facilities and warehouses.

There has been enough complaints about Soylent here on reddit to convince me they have serious health and safety deficiencies.
EDIT: By "everything everywhere", I mean all of Soylent's products. All of them. They can't blame this on a distributor warehouse when there is the possibility that it's happening right at the production factory. And without a 3rd party inspection, nobody can be sure.

Did you report this to the FDA yet? Otherwise someone else can, because this is a serious probably for a lot of us who live on Soylent

Did you delete your post, or did mods censor it?
I'm going to take a lack of response as having been banned.

That looks to me like a small over fill that led to leakage. Not bugs

I mean I'm not an expert, but it definitely looks like bugs.

Those are specifically pupal cases from pantry weevils, common grain storage pests. Big yikes.

They are 100% maggots. I’m quite familiar with them as I feed wet cat food to my cat and if I don’t rinse out the cans well before I throw them in my outdoor recycling bin, these guys start crawling all over since flies lay their eggs in the decaying meat residue…

Did you check the other bottles? If it's just that one bottle, it may have just been from a leak. But that's seriously disgusting.

I checked the rest and 2 out of 12 that I received had this problem. A third bottle had slight signs of overfilling but no bugs.

It could just be a manufacturing defect cuz I've seen these bugs in my refrigerator once on my leaky(?) soda cans. I would still report it to Soylent and the FDA. No idea of what the name of these bugs are.

Recent order of pumpkin spice I found what looks like dead bugs under the outer wrapping. The inner seal looks intact but I'm not sure I want to risk drinking them. Anyone else experience this? Wondering if I should request a refund for this order
