Talk about a tipsy twist, High Noon is recalling some of its vodka seltzers after accidentally filling them into Celsius energy drink cans. The USFDA has flagged the blunder, warning consumers in six US states to double-check labels and lot codes before sipping what might be a boozy surprise.
Imagine cracking open your favourite energy drink for a mid-day boost, only to get hit with a buzz that is not caffeine. That is exactly what the US Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) is warning about after High Noon, the canned cocktail giant, mistakenly filled Celsius energy drink cans with vodka seltzer.
The chaos started when a packaging supplier shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon’s facility. Instead of double-checking, the seltzer company went ahead and filled them with booze. The result? Energy drink cans now secretly packed with alcohol. A literal recipe for confusion.
The USFDA has issued an urgent recall for the Astro Vibe Blue Razz edition of Celsius. Also on the chopping block? High Noon’s Beach Variety Packs, which were bottled on the same production line. No one has reported any illnesses (yet), but the government is not taking chances.
Retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin received the affected batches between 21 July and 23 July.
UPC: 085000040065
Lot codes: L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59
L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00
UPC: 8 89392 00134 1
Lot codes: L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11
All codes are lasered on the bottom of the cans, so check before you sip.
The agency has advised consumers to immediately dispose of any Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz cans from the affected lot. The message? Do not play Russian roulette with your drinks. If you are holding one of these sneaky imposters, chuck it.
High Noon confirmed that the drama began with a packaging mix-up by a shared supplier. The company initiated the recall as soon as they caught the mistake. While no adverse reactions have been reported so far, they are urging caution.
If your Beach Variety pack does not match the recalled lot codes, you are in the clear, and safe to sip.
