Several energy drinks are being recalled in Canada, including the popular caffeinated Prime, popular with influencers.
Health Canada notes that the “affected products are being recalled due to various violations related to caffeine content and labeling requirements.”
The affected products are sold across the country and on the Internet.
All affected flavors contain caffeine and are not bilingually labeled in English and French.
Energy drinks are:
– “Energy Drink” award.
– 3D Alphaland “Energy Drink”
– 5 hours “5 hours energy”
– Celsius “Energy Drink”
– GFuel “GFuel Energy Drink”
– Annoying only because of the Vietnamese characters
Here is the advice offered on the Canadian government’s website about these energy drinks:
If you think you have become ill after consuming a recalled product, contact your doctor.
Check if yours is a recalled product.
Do not consume, use, sell, serve or distribute the recalled products.
Recalled products should be discarded or returned to where they were purchased.
If you learn that recalled products are being sold, you can report this to the CFIA.
When you buy groceries online, don’t assume the products meet Canadian requirements.
