USFDA Issues Urgent Recall After Vodka Accidentally Filled into Celsius Energy Drink Cans

U.S. authorities have issued a public safety alert following a shocking mix-up that resulted in Celsius energy drink cans being mistakenly filled with vodka. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the warning after identifying that certain cans of Celsius Astro Vibe – Sparkling Blue Razz Edition were filled with alcohol due to a packaging error involving a vodka seltzer manufacturer.

How the Mix-Up Happened

According to the FDA, the incident occurred when a packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to the facilities of High Noon, a popular vodka seltzer brand. These Celsius-branded cans were then inadvertently filled with vodka and distributed as part of High Noon’s Beach Variety Packs.

So far, no illnesses or adverse health effects have been reported. However, U.S. officials are urging consumers to carefully check their cans and packaging for affected lot codes.

What Consumers Should Do

The FDA strongly advises consumers to dispose of any Celsius Astro Vibe cans with the affected lot codes immediately and not to consume the contents, as they may contain alcohol. Similarly, any High Noon Beach Variety Packs with the impacted lot codes should be returned to the point of purchase or disposed of safely.

Other lot codes of High Noon and Celsius products are not affected and are considered safe for consumption.

No Health Incidents Reported — But Caution Urged

Although no health issues have been reported, the FDA and both companies involved are taking the matter seriously. The incident highlights the importance of strict quality control in the packaging and distribution process, especially when dealing with products intended for different markets — such as non-alcoholic energy drinks and alcoholic beverages.

Final Thoughts

This unusual and potentially dangerous mistake serves as a reminder for consumers to always check product labels and lot numbers — especially when recalls are announced. The FDA has updated its official website with recall details and encourages the public to stay informed.
