I bought an 8-pack of high protein Slim Fast in Rich Chocolate flavor. I opened one and took a couple of drinks and felt a slight burning sensation at the back of my throat, like having a sore throat. I drank a bit of water and it went away. I threw that bottle out without drinking any more. A few days later I decided to try another bottle. Same thing happened. I didn't really expect to find anything when I Googled Slim Fast and sore throat, but here we are. Although it has been a while since I had used Slim Fast prior to this purchase, I never experienced this any of the previous times I have drank it. I have also been drinking Equate recently and it does not cause the same problem.
