A mix-up involving two popular drink brands — Celsius energy drinks and High Noon vodka seltzers — has sparked a nationwide recall and plenty of confusion.
If you’re in Pennsylvania and wondering whether your fridge is affected, here’s everything you need to know.
What to know about Celsius recall
First things first: none of the recalled drinks were distributed in Pennsylvania.
According to the FDA and company statements, the mislabeled cans were shipped only to Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin between July 21 and July 23, 2025.
So anything purchased in Bucks County and nearby Pa. counties or New Jersey are in the clear.
A third-party packaging supplier accidentally sent empty Celsius energy drink cans to High Noon’s production facility in Modesto, California.
Instead of catching the error, High Noon staff filled those cans with their vodka-based hard seltzer and shipped them out in boxes labeled as part of the “High Noon Beach Variety” 12-pack.
So, 12-pack cases of High Noon contained cans filled with the vodka drink but labeled like an energy drink.
That means people who grabbed a can of Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz expecting an energy boost could’ve unknowingly drank a spiked seltzer with 4.5% alcohol. That’s especially risky for kids, drivers or anyone avoiding alcohol for medical or personal reasons.
Celsius and High Noon are completely separate companies. Celsius is owned by Celsius Holdings, Inc., a public company focused on health-focused energy beverages. High Noon, on the other hand, is owned by E. & J. Gallo Winery and specializes in ready-to-drink alcoholic seltzers.
The two brands don’t share facilities or staff; they only had a packaging supplier in common, and that supplier made a critical mistake.
If you’re worried you might have an affected can, look at the top of the can; if it’s silver (Celsius cans usually have a black top), that’s a red flag.
Then look at the bottom of the can for the lot code: the recalled batch reads “L CCB 02JL25” with a timestamp between 2:55 and 3:11. On the outside of the High Noon 12-pack box, the affected codes are “L CCC 17JL25” and “L CCC 18JL25.”
So far, no illnesses or injuries have been reported.
High Noon initiated the recall voluntarily and is working with the FDA to get the mislabeled products off shelves. If you do find one of the affected cans, you’re advised not to drink it.
Instead, email High Noon’s consumer relations team at consumerrelations@highnoonvodka.com for a refund or more information.
