Celsius energy drink cans were accidentally filled with boozy seltzer High Noon and sold at stores across the country, resulting in a widespread recall.
The mix-up happened after the manufacturer “discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty CELSIUS cans to High Noon,” according to a Food and Drug Administration advisory issued Tuesday.
“Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion,” the advisory warned.
The spiked cans were shipped in 12-packs to distributors in eight states, and made it onto retail shelves in New York, Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The error is confined to Celsius Blue Razz cans with a silver top, instead of their cans with a black top, according to the FDA.
High Noon has a 4.5% ABV. No illnesses, injuries or deaths have been reported after the mix-up.
