High Noon Recalls Alcoholic Drinks Mislabeled as Celsius. What to Do if You Were Impacted

This packaging label mishap could lead to unintentional alcohol consumption. Here’s how to check if you bought these cans.

High Noon has issued a recall on two of its Beach Variety packs because of the presence of alcohol in the wrong type of cans. Within these 12-packs of High Noon Beach Variety packs there may be some Celsius-labelled cans — which should contain an energy drink — that were shipped out with High Noon vodka seltzer inside them.

Cans that are filled with High Noon’s vodka seltzer are mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition, and have a silver top instead of a black top. High Noon discovered the error after receiving a shipment of empty Celsius cans instead of empty High Noon cans, according to a statement.

Distributors shipped these drinks to Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin between July 21 and July 23.

Here’s which lot codes were impacted and what to do if you bought these cans.

What to do if you were impacted by High Noon’s drink recall

High Noon advises people who bought the following codes of Celsius Astro Vibe Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition not to consume it and to discard it. The lot codes are L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11. Other High Noon variety packs should not be affected.

High Noon reported that no illnesses or events occurred as a part of the mislabeling. If you’ve purchased the impacted drinks, contact High Noon Consumer Relations at consumerrelations@highnoonvodka.com for next steps and refunds. The recall is being conducted with the US Food and Drug Administration and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

CNET reached out to High Noon for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
