US beverage brand High Noon recalls energy drink cans accidentally filled with vodka
American alcoholic beverage brand High Noon has announced a recall of vodka seltzer cans that were accidentally labelled as Celsius energy drinks. Cans labelled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition were discovered in some shipments of High Noon's Beach Variety 12-packs. Some cans filled with High Noon vodka seltzer were mislabeled as energy drinks and shipped to retailers. (Instagram/@highnoonsunsips) 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.

High Noon recalls vodka seltzers with mistakenly filled Celsius energy cans
High Noon is voluntarily recalling select packs of its vodka seltzer that contain cans of Celsius energy drinks that were mistakenly filled with alcohol, the company said in a recall notice. Why it matters: Consuming the affected products "will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion," the company said. High Noon recall 2025 The big picture: High Noon says the recall began after it discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon. The misfilled cans are labeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Tropical Vibe energy drink in the Sparkling Blue Razz Edition, but contain High Noon vodka seltzer, posing a danger to consumers who may not realize they are drinking alcohol. High Noon, which is owned by E&J Gallo Winery, said the affected packs were sent to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin between July 21 and July 23. Threat level: The recall is only for High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs with select codes listed on the recall notice, but the company says consumers should check Celsius Astro Vibe lot numbers before consuming too. Consumers are advised to dispose of the affected Celsius cans and "not consume the liquid." Other High Noon Beach Variety packs with different lot codes "are not affected by this recall and are safe to consume."

Manischewitz wine in trade crossfire as Canadian Jews prepare for Passover
By Ed White and Leah Douglas WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - For Jews in Canada, much like their American counterparts, Manischewitz kosher wine has become a staple of Passover and other religious celebrations. But now many are struggling to find the New York state-made drink for the wine-heavy spring holiday as Canadian government retailers and wholesale monopolies pull American-made products from shelves in protest of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and annexation threats. The missing wine illustrates how Trump's instigation of a trade war with Canada and his bellicose talk is causing pain for Canadian consumers and U.S. beverage companies like Manischewitz owner E & J Gallo Winery, as well as potential opportunities for Canadian competitors. Many Canadian consumers are embracing a "Buy Canadian" movement and avoiding U.S.-made goods, but for some specialized products like sweet and fruity Manischewitz kosher wine, there is no true alternative, kosher goods retailers and consumers say. Canada's provincial governments control liquor sales and wholesaling, and since early March have all banned U.S. alcohol imports as well as most distribution and sales, including Manischewitz wine and Jack Daniels bourbon whiskey. Existing stocks have been yanked from shelves across the sprawling nation. Private stores, allowed to sell existing supplies, told Reuters their Manischewitz bottles were snapped up by shoppers soon after the provincial governments' bans were announced. "People are freaking out," said Louise Waldman, a Winnipeg Jew who associates the particular taste of Manischewitz wine with a lifetime of Passover meals. Manischewitz and Gallo did not respond to requests for comment. During Passover, which begins on April 12, Jews gather for traditional meals, called seders, and eat specific foods including horseradish, parsley and eggs. Traditionally, each participant drinks four glasses of wine throughout the meal. Aaron Bernstein of family-owned Bernstein's Delicatessen, a Jewish food store and restaurant in Winnipeg in Western Canada, said he has had to tell patriotic Canadian shoppers that there are not domestically made versions of some kosher products. "There's no other product like Manischewitz wine," he said. MADE KOSHER IN CANADA Canadian Jews seeking kosher wine to fulfill the ceremonial obligation might still find some Israeli wine in some government-operated liquor stores. Manitoba Liquor Marts offer three kosher wines, such as both red and white from the Galil Mountain Winery, a spokesperson said. But for some kosher foods producers in Canada, the upsurge in patriotic pride and the desire for "Made in Canada" goods is a chance to expand business. Ritesh Patel, the director of operations for Elman's Food Products, a Winnipeg kosher foods processor since 1938, hopes to capture more of the domestic kosher market. The company is in talks with major national chains about carrying their pickled products like sauerkraut, eggs and horseradish, he said. To replace some American products, Bernstein said his deli has been ordering more products from Israel, but imports take longer to arrive because of the extended supply chain. For some Canadian Jews who keep kosher, the concern goes beyond missing holiday foods and extends to the risk of tariffs and higher prices on other staple products making groceries unaffordable. "We're very concerned in general. The price of food is astronomical and the price of kosher food is even more concerning," said Richard Rabkin, the managing director of the Kashruth Council of Canada, the country's largest kosher certification agency.
