Potential Celsius cans might contain alcohol, FDA warns, so beware before enjoying your usual midday Celsius at work this week.
High Noon, a popular alcoholic seltzer company, has announced a recall of select 12-pack Beach Variety packs due to a labeling mix-up. Some cans labeled as CELSIUS® ASTRO VIBE™ Energy Drink (Sparkling Blue Razz Edition) were mistakenly filled with High Noon vodka seltzer alcohol.
Affected Product and Regions
The affected product is the High Noon Beach Variety 12-pack, with select lot codes containing Celsius-branded cans filled with vodka seltzer. The recall affects products distributed to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Oklahoma.
Health Risk and Consumer Action
The mislabeled energy drink cans contain vodka seltzer with alcohol, posing a health risk of unintentional alcohol ingestion. Consumers are advised not to consume the liquid in the affected cans, dispose of them safely, and check the lot numbers on CELSIUS Astro Vibe cans.
Background
The incident occurred due to a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipping empty Celsius cans to High Noon. The FDA has issued a safety notice regarding the recall of mislabeled High Noon alcoholic seltzers and Celsius energy drinks.
It's important to note that Celsius energy drinks do not contain alcohol but contain 270 mg of caffeine per can. The maximum amount of caffeine considered safe for healthy adults is 400 mg a day, as stated by the Mayo Clinic.
Managing the Recall
The spokeswoman for High Noon is working with the FDA, retailers, and distributors to manage the recall. This incident is reminiscent of a TikTok parody, but the company is taking the matter seriously to ensure consumer safety.
There is also related news about Liquid Death announcing a 'Sane' Energy Drink, which could provide an alternative for those seeking caffeine without alcohol.
Consumers are encouraged to check their Beach Variety packs and dispose of any affected cans responsibly. The FDA will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
