I don't drink Soylent either or think it's that great of a product, but the 30% fat cap is totally ridiculous. It's basically outlawing the ketogenic diet.

It's only outlawing keto diets marketed as general purpose meal replacements.
So they relabel it and it would be fine?
If you read the link these rules only apply to labeling for anything marked as a "Meal Replacement" product, like soylent.
So if Soylent changes the label, they're fine?
Even if this got them over regulatory problems, they're still in the business of selling meal replacements. What are they going to market their products, as? Dessert? Meal supplement? Their whole business is about selling you all you need to eat.
