Misleading claim about Celsius energy drink and cyanide levels circulates online

A misleading claim about Celsius energy drink containing dangerous levels of cyanide has circulated on social media. An influencer's statement, which has since been retracted, inaccurately suggested that Celsius has four times the safe daily limit of cyanide. Celsius contains cyanocobalamin, a form of vitamin B12 that releases a small amount of cyanide, but this is metabolized and eliminated by the body. The drink has 6 micrograms of cyanocobalamin, lower than other energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull. Energy drinks are regulated in the EU, with strict limits on cyanide levels in food products. The European Food Safety Authority emphasizes that these regulations help minimize health risks from naturally occurring cyanide in foods.
