Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have for public consultation on the labelling of low alcohol, alcohol-free, non-alcoholic and de-alcoholised drinks as part of the Food Information Regulations 2014.
The Department has commissioned independent research to investigate consumer understanding, product appeal, selection and consumption in relation to the labelling of low/reduced alcohol products. This research team is due to report back in the spring of 2017. A decision will be taken on possible future consultation and regulations once the outputs of the research have been received and reviewed.
