Yah, it's described in the fiction and the ad as being Astrally active.
By one loose definition it is... it interacts with the astral plane. By
the stricter definition used to determine if it can be zapped from the
astral, it isn't.

And look at the ANSWERS to those post:
>>>>>[I don't think FAB is dual-natured. KE's just saying that as a smoke
screen. I think BacteriTech bred this stuff by pure luck; I bet they
don't even know why it does what it does.]<<<<<
--BitRunner (12:34:55/12-27-55)

And the quote by Slag seems to have his definitions wrong.

And FINALLY, in the Rules section, which us GM's are mean to believe, it
doesn't mention a damn thing about FAB being dual natured and astrally
active.
