The recalled batch contains sulphur dioxide which is not mentioned on the label.

That means it is a possible health risk for anyone with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide or sulphites.

Lidl customers should check the beer's label to see if they've purchased an affected product.

It has a best before date of October 16, 2022 and comes in a 500ml pack size.

Shoppers who have bought the beers and have a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide or sulphites should not drink the product.

Customers don't need a receipt to get their money back.
