Recall: Slim-Fast Ready-To-Drink products

If you’re drinking a Slim-Fast, drop it right now and go get yourself a McRib.

The US Department of Defense Military Health System (An unusual recall source, but it’s valid!) just announced that “the maker of Slim-Fast meal replacement shakes has issued a voluntary recall of Slim-Fast Ready-to-Drink products sold in cans due to a possible contamination that may result in diarrhea and possibly nausea and/or vomiting.”

A McRib never did either of those things to me. Just sayin’.

The recall states that the affected 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. No other Slim-Fast products are affected by this recall.”

Here’s the link to the US Department of Defense Military Health System Blog on this.

I found another link from the FDA on the recall.
