I don't think that applies here. According to the FDA Guidelines [1] (page 4) for a dietary supplement:

"Furthermore, a dietary supplement must be labeled as a dietary supplement and be intended for ingestion and must not be represented for use as conventional food or as a sole item of a meal or of the diet"

Soylent is clearly marketing it as a meal replacement which should disqualify it as a supplement.
