Unilever Issues Nationwide Recall of SlimFast Ready to Drink (RTDs) in All Cans Due to Risk of Possible Contamination



Unilever United States, Inc. has issued a 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 recall involves all Slim-Fast® RTD products in cans, regardless of flavor, Best-By date, lot code or UPC number. No other Slim-Fast® products are affected by this recall. No other Slim-Fast® powdered shakes, meal bars, or snack bars are affected by this recall.

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.
