Two beer products have been recalled over a chemical contamination.

Two German Lagers - Uberbrau Ultra Low Alcohol Lager 330mL and Henninger Lager Bottle 660mL have been recalled by Coles Group after the presence of a chemical was discovered on the outer packaging, "producing an unpleasant odour", according to Food Standards Australia and New Zealand.

The products with a safety risk were on the shelves between April 2 and April 15 in Liquorland, First Choice Liquor Market and Coles Online in Western Australia.

"Food products contaminated with chemicals may cause illness if consumed," FSANZ said.

"Any customers concerned about their health should seek medical advice."

Customers who purchased the product have been urged not to consume it and to dispose of it instead.

Anyone who bought the product during the time period in question can receive a full refund from any Liquorland, Vintage Cellars or First Choice Liquor Market store.
