<p>Clear and accurate alcohol product labelling is crucial to ensuring consumers have
access to essential information about the products they are purchasing, whilst also
promoting transparency, responsible consumption, and safety.</p><p>Current alcohol
labelling guidance recommends that health information, including pregnancy warnings,
a drink driving warning, and the Chief Medical Officer’s weekly limit guidance, are
included on the label for alcohol products. It is also a legal requirement to display
alcohol by volume (ABV) labelling on drinks above the 1.2% ABV threshold.</p><p>The
Department has recently consulted on updating labelling guidance for non-alcoholic
and low alcohol products. This consultation closed on 23 November 2023, and the consultation
response will be published shortly.</p>
