The bottled drinks were sold at Woolworths, Coles, IGA/Metcash grocers, Aldi, independent retail stores and vending machines across the country.

“The recall is due to a potential packaging failure leading to a possible contamination risk,” Food Standards Australia New Zealand said.

“Food products that have been spoiled may cause illness if consumed.”
