High Noon Recalls Vodka Seltzer Cans Mislabeled as Energy Drinks

High Noon is recalling certain packages of its vodka seltzer products following reports that some cans were incorrectly labeled as non-alcoholic energy drinks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that two lots of the High Noon Beach Variety 12-pack contain cans marked as "CELSIUS ASTRO VIBE Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition." However, these cans still contain alcohol, not the energy drink liquid indicated on the label. According to the FDA, the recall occurred after High Noon identified a packaging error where an external supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to the company. These mislabeled cans can be distinguished by their silver tops, unlike the standard black tops on genuine Celsius drinks. Thankfully, there have been no reports of adverse health effects or incidents. Nonetheless, ingesting alcohol unintentionally can be risky, especially for individuals who are avoiding alcohol due to age, health conditions, or personal reasons. The affected 12-packs were distributed to wholesalers in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin, and then supplied to various retail outlets in those states. The recalled product bears the UPC code 085000040065, with lot codes ranging from L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59 and L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00. The mislabeled Celsius cans, identified by UPC code 8 89392 00134 1 and lot code L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11, are also part of the recall. Consumers are advised to check their cans carefully. If a mislabeled can is found, it should be discarded immediately, and the consumer can email consumerrelations@highnoonvodka.com for a refund. More details can be found in the official recall notice from the FDA. This safety alert underscores the importance of accurate packaging and labeling to prevent accidental consumption of alcohol under the guise of energy drinks.
