bottled water recall-related stories
Metromint water recall
Soma Beverage issued a recall on December 4 for their Metromint bottled water. The 16.9 ounce bottles include flavors Peppermint, Spearmint, Orangemint and Lemonmint -- with a Best Before 2008/12/21 date, produced at Soma's California facility. Products produced in California have the letters "KSA" within a rectangle printed on the lower right-hand corner of the back label.
The water may be contaminated with Bacillus cereus, which can cause a diarrheal food poisoning or a vomiting type of food poisoning. Infants, children and pregnant women are at-risk for dehydration resulting from diarrhea.
No illnesses have been reported, per Metromint. But if you chugged one and don't feel well, check out this list of symptoms provided by the Food and Drug Administration's recall press release. You'll likely be down for the count for about 24 hours. If you have any recalled product, you can get a replacement or refund here. Picture from www.metromint.com.
