Latest health guidance missing from alcohol labels The alcohol industry has not updated health information labelling three years after health experts issued new guidelines, the BBC has found.
In 2016, the UK's chief medical officers recommended men and women drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week. But a BBC Panorama investigation found just 14 of 100 alcoholic products carried that information. The alcohol industry said it had until September 2019 to make the change.
Health advice on how much adults could safely drink in a week was cut significantly in 2016, from 28 units a week for men and 21 for women, to 14 for both. BBC News - Health
