Jeremy Clarkson's beer hit with urgent recall over ‘undeclared' ingredient
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.
'We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused.'
Hawkstone beers are marketed by TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson. It is made using barley grown at his Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
The former Top 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. Instead return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund. For more information, please contact info@hawkstone.com or call 01451 824488.'

Jeremy Clarkson shares sad details of heart health scare that nearly killed him
Jeremy Clarkson has opened up about the health scare he endured last year while on holiday - which led to him requiring emergency surgery and the insertion of a stent Jeremy Clarkson has shared fresh details on a holiday incident that left him "days from death". The TV star was panicked in 2004 when a trip abroad resulted in a health scare. Jeremy, 65, suffered a health emergency in 2024 which resulted in emergency heart surgery, including the insertion of a stent. The Clarkson's Farm star was holidaying in the Indian Ocean when disaster struck. Now, almost a year on, the star has shed more light on his terrifying health emergency - revealing his ordeal began when he attempted to jump into the ocean. Having initially planned a graceful dive, he realised, mid-aid, that he would land awkwardly. He explained that he ended up performing a "belly flop" which then put a strain on his body as he tried to swim back to shore. Going into detail, he told the Sunday Times: 'When I finally reached the beach my lungs were full of water and I realised I can't do it anymore.' He was left fearing he would fall over, as he recalled: "There's just no sense that my knees can handle the pressure." He went on to recall awakening the next day feeling "clammy" and with a pain in his chest - but he ignored the symptom. After noticing pins and needles in his left arm, he decided to finally seek help and an ambulance was called. He was then rushed to hospital where he received emergency treatment. He said: 'It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way.' Discussing just how close to death he had been, the star recalled a doctor telling him: "Days away? 'Maybe." The star then underwent an angioplasty, which is where a wire is inserting through the wrist to explore potentially damaged arteries. Recounting being conscious for the procedure, the star wrote: "It's weird, lying there and feeling a metal pipe with a camera on the end wiggling its way round your shoulder and through your chest." Surgeons fitted a stent to keep an artery open, meaning the star avoided the need for a full heart bypass. The star has explained he is now living a healthier lifestyle. Last year, Clarkson recounted in another column that he felt tightness in his chest and pins and needles in his left arm leading to his health diagnosis. He wrote at the time: 'I certainly wasn't having a heart attack. But if it hadn't looked that way, I never would have been sent to hospital.' He had also explained he sought help after noticing he couldn't make it up the stairs unaided, had struggled to swim, and needed to 'take a moment to make sure my limbs were working properly' when he stood up. He added: "These problems all manifested themselves in one day, which made the rest of my holiday extremely relaxing because all I did was sit in a chair drinking wine and eating chees."

Jeremy Clarkson shares symptoms that led to 'days from death' diagnosis
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he was 'days from death' after a terrifying health scare. Writing in his Sunday Times column, the 64-year-old broadcaster detailed a string of sudden and severe symptoms that began during a holiday – signs he initially brushed off but which ultimately led to an ambulance ride, surgery, and a life-saving stent. It all began, he says, with an ill-fated attempt to dive from a boat while on holiday. Mid-air, Clarkson second-guessed his abilities and tried to convert the dive into a jump, resulting in what he described as 'an almighty belly flop that caused pain 'you measure in acres.' But more concerning was what followed: struggling to swim a short distance and arriving at the beach 'mostly dead.' 'I've never struggled with swimming before, and now, suddenly, I can't do it any more,' he wrote. Back on dry land, he found he could barely manage stairs without support. 'There's just no sense that my knees can handle the pressure,' he admitted, fearing he was heading toward 'a tumble.' Once home, Clarkson's condition deteriorated further. He woke up one morning feeling 'clammy' with a tight chest, but ignored the signs and carried on with his day. It was only after noticing pins and needles in his left arm that he decided to take action, and an ambulance was called. Clarkson was rushed to hospital where he was told one artery was completely blocked and another was nearly closed. 'Days away? 'Maybe,' the doctor told him when asked how close he was to catastrophe. He underwent an angioplasty, which involved inserting a wire through his wrist to explore the damage in his arteries. More Trending 'It's weird, lying there and feeling a metal pipe with a camera on the end wiggling its way round your shoulder and through your chest,' he wrote. Fortunately, surgeons were able to avoid a full heart bypass and instead fitted a stent to keep the artery open. Though he described the two-hour operation as 'not especially painful, just odd,' he made it clear just how close he came to disaster. Now, safely back home and recovering, Clarkson is using his brush with death to try to implement a healthier lifestyle. Got a story?

Urgent fridge warning to UK households over 'concerning' trend
The organisation of your fridge might not be a priority, but experts say it should be Many of us have our own opinions about where to store certain food items, for example, ketchup in or out of the fridge? Should eggs be in there? However, a recent study has shown that there are some rules that Brits aren't following leaving millions at real risk of food poisoning. The study found some concerning trends when it comes to where householders keep their fridge items. And an expert has warned that proper fridge organisation is 'essential' if people want to avoid becoming sick. The survey, by white goods and tech retailer Currys, was carried out asking 2,000 people about their fridge habits. And it showed that more than one in five (23 per cent) didn't know that the ideal fridge temperature should be 0-5C, which is the official recommendation of the Food Standards Agency. What's more, 42 per cent admit to not checking their fridge temperature regularly, meaning that potentially millions in the UK are putting themselves at risk of food poisoning.

And when it came to storage specifics, 61 per cent said they didn't know that it's not recommended that dairy products, such as milk, are stored in the fridge door as it's typically being the warmest part of the appliance, due to the temperature fluctuating when the door is opened and closed. Additionally, 22 per cent of those questioned also didn't know that raw meat should be kept on the lowest shelf in the fridge, and a third admit to eating meat from the fridge without being 100 percent sure it was safe to consume. In this case men are nearly twice as likely to do so as women, with 41 per cent of men eating meat they didn't know was safe, compared to just 26 per cent of women. The study also asked UK residents to share their preferred location to store certain consumable items, some of which cause debates. For example, despite the label on tomato ketchups (such as Heinz) stating that once opened it should be 'refrigerated and consumed within eight weeks', 40 per cent of Brits store theirs in a cupboard instead. The food people are most confused about when it comes to proper storage turned out to be eggs. Looking at Google searches in the UK, there are over 31,000 searches for 'should I keep eggs in the fridge', up 26 per cent compared to last survey revealed that 43 per cent of Brits store their eggs outside of the fridge, with 27 per cent storing them straight on the countertop and 16 per cent choosing to keep them in the cupboard. According to the Food Standards Agency, people should 'Store eggs in a cool, dry place, ideally in the fridge and keep them apart from other foods.' As the temperature of the kitchen varied depending on weather, and if cooking appliances were being used, storing eggs on the counter could be putting their quality at risk. Working with Currys, Dr. Helen Onyeaka, an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, specialising in microbiology and sustainable food systems, shared her tips for safer food storage. Dr Onyeaka said: "To ensure food safety and minimise contamination risks, proper organisation and storage are essential." Here's her tips to reorganise your fridge safely: Top Shelf This is where you should store ready-to-eat foods such as leftovers, cooked meals, and packaged dairy products. This reduces the risk of contamination from raw foods below. Middle Shelf Suitable for dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt, as these require consistent cold temperatures. Bottom Shelf This is the coldest area, ideal for raw meat, poultry, and fish. Always store these items in sealed, leak-proof containers to prevent raw juices from contaminating other foods. Crisper drawers Designed for fruits and vegetables. Keep fruits and vegetables in separate drawers to prevent ethylene gas emitted by fruits from speeding up vegetable spoilage. Fridge door The warmest area, suitable for condiments, sauces, and beverages.
