Section 12 of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 relates to alcohol labelling. It mandates that specified information, including calorie content, be included on the container of an alcohol product.
Draft regulations under Section 12 of the Act have been developed and are currently being assessed by the European Commission as required under the Technical Standards Directive (Directive (EU) 2015/1535) and related law.
