An energy drink company has been forced to recall some of its drinks after the cans were accidentally filled with alcohol.
Celsius is recalling certain batches of its Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue
Razz Edition energy drink after its cans were mistakenly sent to a vodka seltzer company.
The company, High Noon, filled the empty Celsius cans with their alcoholic beverage, and has since also been forced to recall some of its Beach Variety packs which came from the same production line.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) put out a warning message warning customers not to drink the product if it features the affected lot codes on the bottom of the cans.
They advise customers to throw away the affected cans, but also said that no illness or adverse reactions had been reported as a result of this recall so far.
The FDA said: ‘Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion.
‘The recall was initiated after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon.
‘Consumers who have purchased the identified product should contact High Noon consumer relations to get more information on next steps, including refunds.’
The recall impacts High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs with the following lot codes on the pack’s exterior:
- L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59
- L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00
It also affects Celsius 12fl oz cans of the Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue
Razz Edition energy drink, with the following lot codes lasered onto the bottom of the cans:
- L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11
The affected cans all have silver lids instead of black lids, the FDA added.
