All canned Slim Fast drinks are being voluntarily recalled by the company over fears of bacterial contamination that could cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. The recall affects all 10 million products currently on the market.

    The products could possibly be contaminated with the microorganism Bacillus cereus. Unilever says the probability of serious health problems is remote, and the Food and Drug Administration says there have been no deaths or injuries associated with the recall.

    An unknown number of people have gotten sick about six to 15 hours after consuming the diet drink, but have recovered within about 24 hours.

    The contamination seems to have occurred during the manufacturing process. Unilever discovered the pathogen and notified the FDA on Wednesday.

    全部的罐裝飲料 Slim Fast 正在由公司主動召回，因為害怕細菌污染而可能導致腹瀉，惡心和嘔吐。此次召回影響到目前市場上的全部 1 千萬個產品。

    該產品可能含有微生物芽胞桿菌。聯合利華公司說嚴重健康問題的幾率不大，而美國食品與藥品管理局說目前還沒有與召回產品相關的死亡或傷害。

    未知數量的人已經在飲用這種減肥飲料大約 6 至 15 小時后得病，但是在大約 24 小時內康復。

    污染似乎已經在制造過程發生。聯合利華公司發現了病原體并且在周三通知了 FDA（食品與藥品管理局）.
