UK: Government launches consultation on alcohol labelling
New research shows that drinks producers have failed to adhere to voluntary agreements on labelling. As a result the government has published a new consultation seeking views on how to improve information on the labels of alcoholic drinks.
The consultation is intended to obtain views and information from stakeholders on the options to improve unit and health information in the labels of alcoholic beverages in that country.
It is hoped that the responses will enable the UK Government to make decisions on the best option and on the detail of legislation, should that be the option chosen.
The deadline for responses is 9 May 2010.
