Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. maker of Slim-Fast products is recalling 10 million cans of its diet-supplement beverage because it might make people sick, officials say.
Unilever United States Inc. is voluntarily recalling all of its ready-to-drink Slim-Fast products in cans because a production issue might have introduced Bacillus cereus, a micro-organism that can cause diarrhea, nausea and/or vomiting, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Friday.
The company's powdered shakes, meal bars and snack bars are not affected by the recall, Unilever says.
The company ordered the recall after quality inspections of its canned products. The recall covers all Slim-Fast products in cans, regardless of UPC number, best-by date, lot code or flavor, it said.
Consumers are urged to immediately discard canned Slim-Fast products and contact the company for full refunds, it said.
