The presence of sulphur dioxide in the lager means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites.

Lidl has warned customers with allergies or intolerance to sulphur dioxide or sulphites to not consume the product.

Instead, a full refund will be issued upon the product’s return to any Lidl store, with or without a receipt.

The recall has been issued across Scotland, England and Wales.
