Update: Smart Energy Blood Orange & Chilli not recalled

I was kinda excited when someone named Amelia reported in the comments that a Coles employee told her that the Smart Energy Blood Orange & Chilli had been recalled. This was all I needed to prove that those skinny little cans were filled with chilli flavoured danger and insanity. So, I emailed Spring Valley to ask what was up, and after about a week they replied:

I was kinda relieved since I accidently bought a can the other day, thinking it was the Blueberry flavour. And not being one to waste food, I drank it with some spicy pizza, whilst fearing for my life. Now I’m glad it was safe, but, it still tasted mega-ick.
