A significant recall has been initiated for a popular US energy drink after it was revealed that some cans were mistakenly filled with vodka. The affected product is the Celsius energy drink, specifically the Astro Vibe Blue Razz edition.
This mix-up occurred at a packaging facility, where the empty cans, meant for the energy drink, were inadvertently sent to a vodka seltzer company. The recall was prompted by the discovery of the error, and authorities have issued warnings urging consumers to dispose of the affected cans.
According to the Daily Record, the recall has affected several US states and is being handled with urgency.
Mix-Up at Packaging Plant Leads to Recall
The recall follows an error at a packaging supplier, where empty Celsius cans were sent to the High Noon vodka seltzer company. The cans were then filled with alcohol instead of the intended energy drink formula.
The impacted batch of products is being urgently recalled by both Celsius and High Noon.
Details of the Recall and Affected Products
The recall impacts two production lots, which were distributed between July 21 and July 23, 2025, to retailers in several US states, including Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The products have specific retail and lot codes, and consumers are advised to dispose of the affected items immediately. The codes of lot include:
- For High Noon:
- L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59
- L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00
- For Celsius:
- L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11
No Adverse Effects Reported, but Consumers Urged to Check Labels
The US FDA has stated that no adverse effects or illnesses have been reported from consuming the impacted products. However, consumers are strongly encouraged to check the lot codes and return or dispose of the affected items. High Noon is offering refunds for those who have purchased the recalled products.
Consumers are advised to dispose of the Celsius Astro Vibe energy drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition cans with the impacted lot codes, and not consume the liquid – the USFDA said.
Additional Product Recalls in the Food Industry
This incident adds to a series of recent product recalls in the food and beverage industry, including listeria contamination in spinach and mixed leaves products sold at Lidl in Northern Ireland, as well as concerns over potential Salmonella contamination in Waitrose’s egg and spinach protein pots.
Meanwhile, High Noon is working closely with other retailers and health authorities to ensure the swift return of these products and prevent further consumer issues.
