The Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of a popular alcoholic seltzer brand after multiple batches of the product were mistakenly put into cans of an unrelated non-alcoholic energy drink brand.
On Wednesday, the FDA announced it had issued a recall for two production lots of High Noon’s Beach Variety Pack, which may include some cans filled with the vodka seltzer that appear to be cans of the popular Celsius energy drink.
The variety packs should contain strictly the vodka seltzer High Noons, although some of the cans within the packs may appear to be Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz with a silver top.

The mislabeled cans appear exclusively within the High Noon variety packs, but some retailers may break down these packs for individual sale, so consumers should check the lot code of that flavor of Celsius to determine if the product was mislabeled.

The variety packs were shipped out to distributors in the Midwest and East Coast from July 21-23; distributors shipped those products to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The recall is not related to any illnesses or adverse effects, but rather the potential for accidental consumption of alcohol.
Officials for High Noon told the FDA that the mistaken labeling was the result of one of its products suppliers, who also works with Celsius, shipping empty Celsius cans to its bottling plant.
