Slim-Fast, the diet shake manufacturer made by Unilever and based in
Englewood New Jersey, has issued a recall on all of its ready-to-drink
products that are sold in cans.  Quality control found that some of the
cans could be contaminated by a mirco-organism called Bacillus cereous,
which can cause nausea, dieting and diarrhea.
 
Regardless of flavor, Slim-Fast has included all of its canned and
ready-to-drink products in the ban.  The micro-organism itself is more of a
nuisance than a dangerous health threat, but the company is diligently
investigating the source of the contamination; until they've discovered the
problem, they have ceased all production of their canned products.
 
The company is asking consumers to throw away all cans of Slim-Fast they
have in their possession.  Call (800) 896-9479 for a full refund.
