Authorities in the United States have issued a warning regarding the Celsius energy drink after some cans were mistakenly filled with vodka. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) has particularly highlighted the Astro Vibe Blue Razz edition of the drink, urging consumers to check for the affected cans.
This unusual mix-up occurred when a packaging supplier shipped empty Celsius cans to the vodka seltzer brand High Noon, which then filled the cans with alcohol. As a result, High Noon is conducting a recall of its Beach Variety packs. Fortunately, there have been no reports of illnesses or adverse effects related to these products.
The recall specifically affects two production lots, details of which have been shared on the USFDA’s website. The contaminated products were shipped to retailers in regions including Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin, between July 21 and July 23.
The recalled High Noon packs can be identified with the retail code UPC 085000040065 and the following lot codes:
- L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59
- L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00
For the Celsius cans, the retail code is UPC 8 89392 00134 1, with lot codes:
- L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11
The USFDA advises consumers to dispose of the Celsius Astro Vibe energy drink cans with these lot codes and not to consume the contents. It has reassured consumers that High Noon Beach Variety packs with different lot codes are safe to drink.
