Business Wire
Unilever United States, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), is conducting a nationwide voluntary
recall of all Slim-Fast® ready-to-drink (RTD) products in cans, due
to the possibility of contamination with Bacillus cereus, a
micro-organism, which may cause diarrhea and possibly nausea and/or
vomiting. The probability of serious adverse health consequences is
remote.
The products were sold in stores nationwide.
Product Description:
The products are packaged in paperboard cartons and contain
four, six or 12 steel cans that are 11 FL OZ (325 mL) each.
Individual cans are also sold in certain retail outlets. The recall
involves all
Slim-Fast® RTD products in cans, regardless of flavor, Best-By
date, lot code or UPC number. A listing of all RTD recalled
products is attached to this press release.
No other Slim-Fast® products are affected by this recall. No
Slim-Fast® powdered shakes, meal bars, or snack bars are affected
by this recall.
The recall was initiated after the company conducted quality
testing on Slim-Fast® RTD products in cans. 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. The company is in the
process of identifying and correcting the production issue, and
will resume production and shipment of the product when the issue
has been addressed and corrected.
Consumers who have purchased Slim-Fast® RTD products in cans are
urged to discard them immediately and contact the company at
1-800-896-9479 for a full refund. The Consumer Services
Center is open Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM ET. A recorded
message is available 24/7.
