Some Celsius Energy Drink Cans May Actually Contain Vodka Seltzer, FDA Says
This could lead some people to unintentionally drink alcohol.
High Noon issued the recall after realizing it had mistakenly received empty Celsius cans from a shared packaging supplier.
Which Celsius Cans Were Mislabeled?
The mislabeled 12-ounce cans have a silver top (Celsius cans usually have black tops) and are marked as Celsius Astro Vibe Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition.
The outer packaging of the recalled High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs have 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
The cans mislabeled as Blue Razz Celsius have the following lot codes on the underside:
- L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11
No other lots are affected by this recall, and no adverse events have been reported so far.
The recalled products were shipped to stores in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The FDA said anyone with cans of Sparkling Blue Razz flavor Celsius — even if they didn’t purchase them in a 12-pack of High Noon — should make sure they’re not from the recalled lots before drinking.
The FDA said the mislabeled Celsius cans should be thrown away. Affected consumers can contact High Noon Consumer Relations at consumerrelations@highnoonvodka.com to get more information on next steps, including refunds, the agency noted.
