Recall of Metromint water sold online

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Soma Beverage Company issued a voluntary recall Wednesday of its mint-flavored water because of possible contamination after an isolated case of Bacillus cereus contamination was found in a water sample that was bottled a year ago at a Southern California plant.

Bacillus cereus contamination as stated in the article "can cause food poisoning, with symptoms including nausea and diarrhea."

"The recall involves water with a "Best before 2006/12/21" date printed on the shoulder of the bottle and the lettering "KSA" in a rectangle located on the lower-right corner of the back panel of the label."

According to the article the bottled water that is in question was only sold over the internet. For more on this story go to: http://www.sfgate.com
