Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone lager recalled
8th April 2025
Two lagers from Jeremy Clarkson’s brewery Hawkstone have been recalled due to risks to consumers with severe allergies and intolerance.
Hawkstone Black and Hawkstone Spa Lager have been recalled as they contain undeclared wheat (gluten), which is not mentioned on the label.
This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or with coeliac disease, the Food Standards Agency explained.
The Cotswold Brewing Company Limited has issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers which reads that customer safety is of “paramount importance” to the business and it takes all issues regarding the production of its products “extremely seriously”.

Return for a full refund
A spokesperson from Hawkstone said: “We have issued an allergen alert for Hawkstone Spa Lager and Hawkstone Black as they contain wheat, which is not currently listed on the product label.
“All customers who have purchased these items have been notified that they can return them for a full refund. Both Hawkstone Spa Lager and Hawkstone Black remain fit for consumption for those who do not have a wheat allergy. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
A spokesperson for FSA added: “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. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.
“Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an allergy alert.”
