Ymgynghoriad
The Food Labelling Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 - Low Alcohol Descriptors
Penodol i Ogledd Iwerddon
The Food Standards Agency wants to hear your views on whether new descriptors for alcoholic drinks above 1.2% ABV and the promotion of lower strength drinks should be introduced. We believe any future low alcohol descriptors could be introduced through guidance rather than further legislation.
Consultation target audience
Alcohol industry, healthcare professionals, heath education bodies, enforcement officers, charities, consumer groups and other interested stakeholders who may have an interest in the policy and legislation on food labelling. This consultation applies to Northern Ireland only. Similar consultations will be carried out in England, Scotland and Wales.
Consultation subject
We welcome stakeholders' views on how best to continue to communicate information to the public about low alcohol products, so that adults can make informed choices when they purchase drinks, including alcohol.
Consultation purpose
This consultation provides interested parties with an opportunity to provide feedback on the proposals to use guidance rather than legislation, views on the current low alcohol descriptors and on whether to extend the range of descriptors to drinks above 1.2% ABV.
