<p>We welcome the Alcohol Health Alliance’s report. The Government has announced its
intention to consult on whether to introduce mandatory calorie labelling on pre-packed
alcohol and alcohol sold in on-trade businesses, such as pubs and restaurants. The
consultation will also seek views on whether the provision of the United Kingdom Chief
Medical Officers’ low risk drinking guidelines should be mandatory or continue on
a voluntary basis. Respondents to the consultation can also suggest additional labelling
requirements for consideration, such as ingredient listing. The Department continues
to promote the low risk drinking guidelines through public health messaging, including
the ‘Better Health’ campaign and the Drink Free Days app.</p>
