NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities TerraVia Holdings, Inc. ("TerraVia" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TVIA). Such investors are advised to contact Peretz Bronstein or his investor relations analyst Yael Hurwitz at info@bgandg.com or 212-697-6484.  

The investigation concerns whether TerraVia and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On November 7, 2016, Bloomberg broadcasted a news report, "Soylent Thinks It Found What Was Making People Sick: Algae." The article described how Soylent, Rosa Foods, Inc.'s meal replacement drink, includes an algal flour ingredient provided by TerraVia. This ingredient has caused Soylent consumers to become sick and Rosa Foods said it will remove the ingredient by early 2017.  Mark Brooks, TerraVia's Senior Vice President denied that the Company's algal flour was responsible for making consumers sick, however Bloomberg added that TerraVia had sent a letter in July to EN-R-G Foods, LLC, a separate customer, warning that TerraVia's algal protein ingredient had been linked to a "modest number of reports" with similar complaints and ailments, like nausea and vomiting, connected with EN-R-G's Honey Stinger energy bar. Following this news, TerraVia stock dropped $0.15 per share, or 8.11%, to close at $1.70 on November 7, 2016.
