RECALL OF ALL SLIM FAST DRINKS

Unilever announced today a massive recall of Slim-Fast diet drinks,
citing concerns about the presence of Bacillus cereus, a bacteria that
can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Wait: Hasn't all Slim-Fast
always caused diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting?

Important: The recall affects all Slim-Fast cans, regardless of flavor, best-by dates, lot code or UPC number.

Slim-Fast powdered products and bars are not effected.

According to the FDA press release,
"The probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. ...
Out of an abundance of caution, the company is recalling all RTD
products in cans that are currently in distribution centers, on-shelf
or in back rooms in retail outlets or in consumers' homes."

Unilever is urging consumers to discard any Slim-Fast cans immediately and call 1-800-896-9479 for a full refund.

I just called the number and you get a recording telling you to press 1 to leave info or you can talk to a representative. I just left a message telling them my name and address and the number of cans i am throwing away. I just bought a 24 can pack at Sams a week ago. grrr oh well, they are going to send a refund.
the powder and meal bars are not part of the recall.

Wow. So sorry jersma. I hope they compensate you for your loss in money there. I know Slim Fast isn't cheap.

that is really really odd that it is all of them regardless of pull date and lot number....that means it is something that has ALWAYS been present in it. So there is prolly a lot of truth to you saying that they always cause nausea and diarrhea

i use to have them for lunch every day at work and lately, i would drink one before i went out to spend hours working in the yard. i forget to eat sometimes and get really nauseous after spending long hours in the sun doing physical labor. it is just as well.... we are predicted to have rain all next week. guess i will start my holiday baking and making.

rain!!!
