The project represents the brand's first foray into the plant-based disinfectant wipes format. Sustainable Objectives Driving Packaging Material Changes Plastic replacement is still top of the agenda for many brands and retailers as they look to switch to solutions that may offer a better environmental footprint, or be better received by consumers.

How Bumble Bee Seafood is Transitioning Multipack Shrink Wrap to Recyclable Cartons The company produces 26 million multipacks each year, and saw an opportunity to transition to more readily recyclable packaging through a partnership with R. A Jones. New Packaging Formats Affect Secondary Packaging Process Package configurations are changing due to retailer and consumer demands, with significant implications for secondary packaging.
Andrew Hurley. Pat Reynolds. Melissa Griffen. The recall involves all Slim-Fast ready-to-drink products in cans, regardless of flavor, best-by date, lot code or UPC number.
Check the full list. Only canned drinks are included in the recall. All production and distribution of the ready-to-drink cans has been halted. This is Slim-Fast's second major recall this year. Unilever recalled three varieties of Slim-Fast snack bars because they contained peanuts provided by the Peanut Corporation of America that may have been tainted with salmonella.
The FDA is urging consumers who purchased the Slim-Fast ready-to-drink products to discard them immediately and contact the company at for a full refund. Although the call center is not open this weekend, callers can hear a recorded message for more information.
Choose from cars, safety, health, and more! When you open the can, you definitely get that pressure-release sound and minor splashing. Not so for diet shakes or juices in heavy cans.
So, some kind of non-carbonated pressurization for V8 and nectars? The plot thickens. I've wondered this too and always assumed it may have something to do with these drinks tending to have dairy products inside. As said above, it has nothing to do with carbonation. During emergencies beer and soda companies will produce cans of drinking water to distribute in affected areas. I've always wondered the same thing, and thought it was just heavier to make it seem like there is more in the can for people trying to drink them as a meal replacement.
I guess it makes sense, packaging-wise, that a can of slim-fast would be more similar in packaging to a steel can of evaporated or condensed milk than a can of soda or juice. I buy Kitten Milk Replacer in aluminum cans so there are at least some dairy products that come in those type of cans.
I am fairly certain the cans are coated on the inside, so it doesn't matter what the metal is versus what the food is.
I always assumed belau's explanation was the one. As price goes, the difference isn't all that great between a heavier steel can versus a lighter aluminum one, so why not choose the heavier one? For all we know, they are in steel cans simply because the first people to make a Slim-Fast-type beverage only had access to a steel-can-making machine and it just became the form that shakes in a can were expected to be in.
Shipping costs. Have you seen the price of fuel these days? I think there are several factors here. One is probably pressure and the other is certainly acidity. Diet shakes and other milk products are very low acid foods, so to prevent spoilage you would need a thicker can that is resistant to pinholes and cracking that would allow bacteria to enter and throw a party.
Bacterial contamination is not as big a problem with high sugar, highly acidic foods like soda and juice. This doesn't explain the thick can on higly acidic canned tomatoes though.
I have always assumed this was a marketing choice. Slim Fast is sold as a meal replacement drink.
