Issue: The products are being recalled due to non-compliances related to caffeine content and labelling requirements.

Safety Recommendations:

  • Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products.
  • Check if you have any of the recalled products.
  • Return or dispose of any recalled products.
  • Report any sales of recalled products to the CFIA.
  • Be cautious when purchasing food products online and ensure they meet Canadian requirements.

Health Risks: High caffeine levels can be harmful, especially for children, pregnant and breastfeeding individuals, and those sensitive to caffeine. Side effects may include insomnia, irritability, headaches, and nervousness.

Background: This recall is part of an ongoing CFIA investigation. Many of the recalled products were not intended for sale in Canada and have been imported and sold by third parties. Some products may have been purchased online. In Canada, energy drinks should not contain more than 180 mg of caffeine per serving and must have cautionary statements.

Actions Taken: The CFIA is ensuring the removal of recalled products from the market and is working with Health Canada to address non-compliance issues.
