Slim Fast is recalling every single one of its popular diet drinks over concern they may be contaminated with bacteria that can cause food poisoning. All cans and cartons of ready-to-drink Slim Fast products -- about 10 million of them -- are affected.
The recall was prompted by "quality testing" that turned up Bacillus cereus, a toxin that can cause nausea and diarrhea. The inspection that uncovered the B. cereus was conducted after several consumers complained to the company.
B. cereus is usually associated with contaminated fried rice at Mexican and Asian restaurants.
