Reason for Recall:
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 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.

What to do:
Consumers who have purchased Slim-Fas® ready-to-drink products in cans are urged to discard them immediately.

Contact information:
Contact Unilever at (800) 896-9479 for a full refund. The Unilever Consumer Services Center is open Monday - Friday, 8:30 AM - 6 PM ET. A recorded message is available 24/7.
