Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when his Department plans to begin the 12 week consultation on calorie labelling for alcohol products; and if he will make a statement.

Through ‘Tackling obesity: empowering adults and children to live healthier lives’, published in July 2020, we are committed to consult shortly on our intention to make companies provide calorie labelling on all pre-packaged alcohol they sell. The consultation will also cover introducing calorie labelling on alcoholic drinks sold in the out of home sector, for example bought on draught or by the glass.
