Not just Prime energy drink: 45 caffeinated beverages are being recalled across Canada
Products from KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime energy drink line are among 45 caffeinated beverages recalled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
“The affected products are being recalled from the marketplace due to various non-compliances related to caffeine content and labelling requirements,” the CFIA said.
The recall is not limited to certain cities or provinces, and people all over the country are advised not to consume, use, sell, serve or distribute recalled products.

The maximum level of caffeine allowed in Canada is 180mg in a single serving. Brands must issue cautionary statements on the packaging to help consumers make informed decisions.
“High levels of caffeine may have adverse health effects for children, pregnant individuals, breastfeeding individuals, and those sensitive to caffeine. Exercising while consuming caffeine may lead to adverse health effects. Some of the side effects of consuming excess caffeine may include insomnia, irritability, headaches, and nervousness,” the CFIA noted.
The food agency also said that if the label of such a product is only in one language or has no English or French on it, it means the product has not been produced for the Canadian market.
Prime energy drink products were first recalled in June in Canada following an investigation by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The drinks contain shocking amounts of caffeine — 200 mg per can, equivalent to six cans of Coca-Cola. Each can of Coca-Cola has about 34 mg of caffeine.
Since then, several caffeinated drinks have been recalled.
