CFA Asks EU Regulators to Greenlight Ireland Alcohol Labeling Law, Despite Industry Objections
CFA submitted the following comments to European Union regulators evaluating whether Ireland may go forward in implementing a 2018 law that would require alcoholic beverage labels to display information such as calories and amount of alcohol in grams, as well as rotating health warning labels that include the statement: “There is a direct link between alcohol and fatal cancers.” As the comments explain, CFA and consumer advocates have petitioned U.S. officials for similar labeling requirements to allay consumer confusion related to standard drink equivalents, calorie loads, and the health impacts of consuming alcohol, particularly increased cancer risk.
