Have been drinking Fairlife for years and never had an issue. My Fairlife 0% smells fine, but I got horribly sick after opening a new bottle over the weekend and am wondering if it could be related to other complaints here. Finally reintroduced the milk back into
my diet again today after several days recovering and am starting to feel the same symptoms beginning. Cap says 26-207 with an expiration date of June 19, 2024.

Grabbed a 20oz grape Powerade on my way into work @ 5:30am today (Tuesday) guzzling close to 1/2 and immediately turned around to rush home because i felt weird and didn't want to chance being ill at work. Took me 11 mins to drive home & I
vomited on my steps before making it in my house (captured on my ring camera). I felt ill & slept until 4:30pm and then woke up feeling much better. Upon picking up some food and drinking that same grape Powerade I left in my car I vomited within 13 mins of drinking it again feeling nausea and dizziness just like this morning. I am confident this Powerade is the culprit. May still have the bottle in the car !

Taouk soups recalled due to potential microbial contamination
3 days ago •source www.quebec.ca
Recall notice
Boucherie Les Saules inc., located at 2070 Boulevard Masson, Québec City, QC, Canada, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, has issued a recall for its Taouk brand vegetable and mushroom and sesame soups. The recall is due to improper storage methods that could
potentially lead to the growth of Clostridium botulinum bacteria. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with these products.
The recalled products are
- Mushrooms & sesame (750 ml)
- Vegetables (750 ml)
The products were sold until April 23, 2024, and were packaged in glass jars with black metal lids. They were sold at room temperature at the establishment mentioned above. The products are not showing any signs of spoilage or suspicious odor.
If you have this product at home, do not consume it and return it to the store where it was purchased. Products could be contaminated with the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Foods contaminated with the toxin of this bacterium when ingested can cause the following symptoms: facial paralysis, non-reactive or fixed pupils, difficulty swallowing, drooping eyelids, etc, impaired vision and speech. In severe cases, the disease can cause death.
In case you experienced Botulism symptoms, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Been buying this Fairlife now for a while but noticed while drinking some the other day that it had a strange aftertaste. It didn't taste sour, just off and not as it usually does.
I got rid of the container knowing it wasn't as it should be
I got rid of the container knowing it wasn't as it should be
and woke up not feeling well. My lower and upper abdomen were extremely swollen and I had horrible cramping as the day progressed I felt worse and worse and my stomach was really messed up.
That evening I opened another container of Fairlife and it had the same odd after taste. I'll be honest because I've never had an issue I still didn't think this was the cause of my issue, in fact I thought my taste was off!
I spent the next few days staying away from straight milk but was using in my coffee and my lattes but was insanely bloated. My husband and I were thinking something was horribly wrong because I looked several months pregnant and had to wear leggings to work Friday. The whole situation was extremely unusual.
My daughter had a cookie and asked for some milk. Upon taking a sip she asked if if it was a different milk and I knew then that it wasn't my tastebuds it was the milk. She said she too felt it had a strange taste... luckily she only had a sip.
I've been absolutely miserable. My clothes don't fit due to bloating, I still have cramps and diarrhea. Both containers were good until June and are from batch 26-207. My husband suggested I check for recalls, come to find that the company has had hundreds of people get sick from this batch and denies issuesz I also learned that they have a lawsuit in regards to animal cruelty which is good to know. I'll never buy their milk again. Get it together cola-cola. #$$$hungry #animalabuse. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Bloating, Swelling
