Lidl sends urgent 'do not drink' warning to any shoppers who buy beer

Supermarket giant Lidl has issued a warning to anybody who drinks its beer. The retailer has issued an urgent recall on its Starovice Czech Lager 5.0% over health fears.

Alert has been raised that the lager could contain undeclared sulphur dioxide. This makes it a potential health risk for anybody with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide or sulphites.

Anyone who does have such a sensitivity and has bought the drink is urged not to drink it and to return it to their Lidl store for a full refund instead. The affected products are the ones with a pack size of 500ml and a best before date of October 16, 2022.
