LABELLING
OUR PRIORITIES
LABELLING
The Brewers of Europe are #ProudToBeClear. We believe in empowering people with facts to make informed decisions. That’s why since 2015, our members have voluntarily listed on the outside of the bottle, what’s inside the bottle. In 2019, our members signed a memorandum of understanding with the European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, committing ourselves to labelling ingredients and energy values.
The latest figures show 95% of beer volumes sold in cans and bottles were labelling ingredients, whilst 88% of beer volumes sold in cans and bottles were labelling energy values.
