Labelling of alcoholic beverages
Labelling of alcoholic beverages The Food Standards Code includes specific information requirements for labelling of alcoholic beverages. These may vary depending on the concentration of alcohol in the beverage. This is measured in alcohol by volume (ABV). Statement of alcohol content All beverages containing 0.5% or more ABV must include information on the label about the alcohol content (Standard 2.7.1). For alcoholic beverages containing more than 1.15% ABV, the label must include the alcohol content as a percentage of ABV or mL/100 ml.
- For example, the label might read that the beverage contains 5% ABV or the alcohol content is 5ml/100ml of the beverage.
