Establishment-critical narrative
This recall highlights serious quality control failures that could pose a risk to public safety. The mix-up poses real risks to teenagers who might unknowingly consume alcohol and to people who avoid alcohol for medical or religious reasons. When major brands fail to properly manage their supply chains, it reveals systemic issues in food safety oversight.
Pro-establishment narrative
The companies acted responsibly by immediately issuing a voluntary recall once the error was discovered. No illnesses have been reported, and the mistake affected only a small batch due to an error by a third-party supplier. Both High Noon and Celsius are working proactively with the FDA to ensure consumer safety and provide full refunds.
