A Large Hard Seltzer Recall Impacts Wisconsin

In addition to a recent recall on sausages that impacted Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin, another recall impacting eight states, including Wisconsin, has been issued after cans of a popular brand of energy drinks was mistakenly filled with an alcoholic beverage.

It sounds like the setup for a comedy movie, quite frankly, but it is a serious matter. A packaging error resulted in High Noon, a popular brand of vodka seltzers, being filled into cans of Celsius Astro Vibe energy drinks. This is a significant problem for the company, as an alcoholic beverage is being sold under a non-alcoholic label.
