Two popular lagers sold by Jeremy Clarkson have been urgently recalled for containing undeclared ingredients which could cause health issues for some.

The Cotswold Brewing Company is recalling its Hawkstone Black and Hawkstone Spa Lager because they contain undeclared gluten from wheat which is not listed on the label.

The Food Standards Agency says this has caused the product to be a health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or with coeliac disease.

A recall notice from the brewery reads: “Customer safety is of paramount importance to The Cotswold Brewing Company Limited and we take all issues regarding the production of our products extremely seriously.”

“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to wheat, do not consume it. Instead return it to the place where purchased where a full refund will be given.

The formerTop Gear presenter has become an outspoken figure in the agriculture industry in recent years, presenting the reality farming show Clarkson’s Farm from his Oxfordshire site since 2019.

Advice notice from the Food Standards Agency reads: “If you have bought any of the above products and have an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or with coeliac disease, do not consume them.
