Energy drinks recalled in US with FDA warning of ‘unintentional alcohol ingestion’

Americans have been advised that some packages of a brand of vodka seltzers have been mistakenly mislabeled as a non-alcoholic high energy drink, triggering a recall by the USA Food and Drug Administration.

In a statement, the FDA said two lots of High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs contain cans mislabeled as “CELSIUS® ASTRO VIBE Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition”.

“Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion,” the organization warned.

The recall was declared after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier had mistakenly sent it empty Celsius cans.

The recalled packs were shipped to distributors in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The FDA said no illnesses or adverse events have so far been reported.
