This application sought to require a health advisory label on alcoholic beverage containers advising of the risks of consuming alcohol when planning to become pregnant and during pregnancy.
Work on this application was deferred at the request of the applicant due to the overlap of the application with Recommendation 25 from the Independent Review of Food Labelling Law and Policy. See information about the Labelling Review on the Food Regulation website.
In October 2018, the Australia New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation referred this matter to FSANZ for consideration and FSANZ raised
Proposal P1050 - Pregnancy warning labels.
Following a
Review of Proposal P1050, the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code was amended on 31 July 2020 to include new requirements for pregnancy warning labels on packaged alcoholic beverages.
Information for industry including downloadable labels are available.
Following the approval of Proposal P1050, Application A576 was
withdrawn by the Applicant.
