US beverage brand High Noon recalls energy drink cans accidentally filled with vodka
How the mix-up happened
The mix-up occurred when a packaging supplier erroneously shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon, a brand that specializes in hard seltzer. High Noon filled the cans with alcohol. The mislabeled cans were then shipped to Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin, between July 21 and 23.
'Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion,' said a post on the US Food and Drug Administration website.
High Noon is a brand of E&J Gallo Winery and does not own Celsius energy drinks. It is now urging consumers to discard cans that were affected in the mix-up and contact the company for a refund.
According to a Bloomberg report, a Gallo spokeswoman said that the voluntary recall stemmed from 'a labeling error from our can supplier,' and that it was working with the FDA, retailers and distributors to proactively manage the recall.
The spokeswoman refused to provide the name of the supplier.
So far, there have been no reports of injury or accidental consumption of alcohol due to the mislabeling.

Weight loss: Fat loss coach reveals 5 morning habits that can speed up the process
Image credits: Getty Images If there's one thing all the lifestyle and fitness influencers out there are right about, it's that morning habits not only shape your day but also your routine and life. When it comes to weight loss, just hitting the gym in the evening and controlling your diet will not cut it. It seems that what you also need to focus on is making a disciplined morning routine if you really want to achieve your desired weight. Tegan Michelle, a Metabolic Fat Loss Coach who often shares weight loss tips on Instagram, recently shared 5 tips on structuring your mornings in a way that supports your fat loss better. "Mornings set the tone for your entire day. If fat loss, balanced hormones, and sustained energy are your goals, you need to start your day with intention," wrote Michelle in the caption of the video that has received 1.2M views on the social media app. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) What are the 5 morning habits that support weight loss? These are the 5 habits the fat loss coach suggested: Begin the day with lemon or apple cider water Image credits: Getty Images Before drinking coffee, Michelle advises drinking warm lemon water or apple cider vinegar water as it helps stimulate digestion and wake up the gut, flushes out toxins and reduces bloating, alkalizes the body, supports liver detox and stabilises blood sugar. Soak up some Vitamin D Image credits: Getty Images The second habit she suggested was to get sunlight on the skin and in the eyes within 30 minutes of waking up. The body's circadian rhythm plays a massive role in weight loss, and getting sunlight every day will regulate the metabolism, boost serotonin, balance cortisol and improve sleep quality. Stretch and move Image credits: Getty Images While sleeping, the body is at rest for 6-8 hours, and thus getting it in the groove of moving with gentle stretching, mobility work, and yoga can be beneficial. This will improve circulation and digestion, reduce stiffness and inflammation and lower stress. Eat a protein-rich breakfast Image credits: Getty Images Coffee and a bagel are no longer the breakfast norm. If weight loss is your dream, then protein is a must, as otherwise, it can lead to blood sugar crashes, cravings and overeating. A high-protein breakfast will keep you full for longer, stabilise blood sugar, and reduce unnecessary snacking and cravings. Breathe, meditate and set your intentions Image credits: Getty Images According to Michelle, fat loss isn't just about food and movement; it is also related to stress management. Chronic stress can lead to cortisol spikes, which make the body hold on to belly fat. Thus, having calm mornings will help the body lower its cortisol and also improve digestion.

Trump's war on Indian drugs risks a global supply shock
India, a top-five supplier of medicines to the US, is now in the crosshairs of Donald Trump's latest trade offensive. In a move that could ripple through hospitals and households across America, the US president is planning tariffs as high as 250 per cent on imported drugs. In this sector, India plays a crucial US president has already proposed 200 per cent tariffs on pharmaceutical imports and reportedly conveyed this to Ireland's prime minister. Ireland is the largest exporter of drugs to America. India's USD 12.5 billion shipments of low-cost generics make it a critical link in the US healthcare chain — and a vulnerable Why it matters: The US relies on India for affordable generics. Steep tariffs could spike drug prices, strain supply chains, and hit both Indian exporters and American patients. Markets are already flashing numbers:$12 billion: Value of Indian drug exports to the US in 2024$10.5 billion: US trade deficit in pharma as of May 202525–250%: Range of proposed tariffs on Indian medicines+9 percentage points: Rise in average US pharma tariffs if 25% levy holds$50 billion: Total size of India's pharma market$26.5 billion: Value of India's total drug exports5th: India's ranks among US pharma suppliers after Ireland, Germany, Italy, and the NetherlandsIn-depth: India is a pharmaceutical powerhouse. It manufactures one in every five generic drugs used in the US, earning its nickname, 'pharmacy of the world'. These low-cost treatments keep healthcare affordable for millions of Trump's new tariffs risk unravelling that system. Industry experts say even a 25 per cent tariff could lift average pharma duties by nine points, a shock for hospitals, insurers, and patients. The threat of further hikes has already rattled April, the S&P 1500 Pharma Index has fallen more than India's Nifty Pharma. Investors expect pain, not protection, for US while the goal is to shift manufacturing home, pharma executives say the tariffs will only raise costs and delay investments. Many drug ingredients still come from abroad. The result could be supply gaps, higher prices, and worse picture: When Trump took office, the average US tariff rate was just 2.5 per cent. It has since surged to between 17 and 19 per cent, depending on the estimate. The Atlantic Council warns it could reach 20 per cent, the highest in a century, as another round of duties kicks in on before Thursday midnight, Trump claimed that billions of dollars would start pouring into the US thanks to the tariffs targeting nearly 70 US trade partners with duties from 10 to 41 per cent. Trump launched a tariff campaign in April, accusing other countries of unfair imposed a 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports, adding to the 25 per cent levy announced last week. This higher duty takes effect in 21 days, as stated in the order, leaving room for negotiations. However, pharmaceutical products are on the exemption list at the used to protect factory jobs. Today, they're tools of foreign policy. Trump's evolving doctrine is part punishment, part politics — and the drug industry could be the latest they said: 'In one year, one and a half years maximum, it's going to go to 150 per cent, and then it's going to go to 250 per cent because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country,' Donald Trump told CNBC in an interview.- EndsTune InMust Watch

New, upgraded and high-tech network system at GMSH-16 to reduce footfall, patients' waiting time
With a new, upgraded and high-tech network system, GMSH-16 will now have a new system where all test reports will be sent to the patients' phone numbers or emails, reducing the footfall, waiting time of patients and easing the process. 'The LAN tender is complete, as we need a high-tech system and a robust network system in a hospital like GMSH-16 to go paperless, and within the next three months, this important project of digitisation will be complete. The benefit will largely be for patients, who won't have to stand in long queues to get their diagnostic reports, which will be sent to them on their phones and emails. These will also be accessible to doctors on their computers, ensuring a health record of patients, resulting in ease, and very importantly, reducing the footfall in the hospital,' explains Dr Suman Singh, Director, Health Services, Chandigarh. While some dispensaries have mini-labs, as part of a hub and spoke model, the samples for tests are sent to GMSH-16 daily, and so an increased footfall for getting test reports from the hospital. With the new network in place, the need for a physical card for registration will also be omitted over time, with the registration number and other details of the patient uploaded digitally and available to the doctor on his computer. The pilot project has already been completed in all the 48 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (upgraded Health and Wellness Centres), under the Ayushman Bharat Initiative, with all going paperless in phases. The range of services has been expanded here to include care for non-communicable diseases, oral, eye and ENT care, and free diagnostic services and essential drugs. Here, the E-registration of the patients is in place, with a token system and display of token numbers also planned, so patients don't crowd outside doctors' rooms and can sit and wait for their turn. To improve efficiency, the prescription given by the doctor will also be sent to the pharmacist directly, who will then dispense the medicine and provide the patient with a slip of the same. The OPD in the hospital operates from 8 am to 2 pm , with the daily OPD numbers about 3,500 patients from across the region, plus attendants, with the emergency also witnessing a steady increase, with an average of 400 patients and in the season of dengue, viral fevers, the numbers almost double. The 500-bed district hospital has referral cases from across the region, with the highest of about 350 to 400 in the gynaecology department itself, and the digitisation aims to bring in more efficiency and comfort for patients.
