As part of the Public Health Responsibility Deal, alcohol retailers and producers have committed to putting on clear unit content, National Health Service guidelines and an agreed warning or a pregnancy warning logo on 80% of labels on bottles and cans by the end of 2013.

Subject to publication of the final independent market survey, we believe that just under 80% of bottles and cans had that information.
