1 Consumer Labelling of alcoholic beverages A review of practices in Europe European Alcohol and Health Forum, Brussels 8. April 2011 Walter Farke (MPH) Deutsches Institut für Sucht- und Präventionsforschung (DISuP)
2 Consumer labelling of alcoholic beverages Enticing consumers to buy the product Package as advertising space Helping the consumers to make informed decisions Product information Alerting the consumers about health and safety risks Warning statements
3 PROTECT Alcohol labelling policies to protect young people Partners: Consumer Organisations & Alcohol Policy Organisations (co-funded by EC) General objective: Providing information of the experience, evidence base and need for consumer labelling of alcoholic beverages. Specific objectives: Determine consumers interests in labelling and the influence of drinking behaviours of young people Collect experiences & good practices from European Countries Gaining formal commitment to measurable best practice and data sharing between stakeholders
4 The data collection focussed on information and warning messages covering: - General health warnings; - Specific health warnings ( e.g. liver cirrhosis); - Information about units; - Drinking guidelines; - Legal age limits for purchasing alcoholic beverages; - Messages about drinking in moderation; - Drinking and Driving; - Operating machinery; - Harm to others (family members or other third parties).
5 Mandatory Information (beverages > 1.2% ABV), governed by the EU: Mandatory for all: - Product name - Beverage category - Quantity: L, cl, ml - Strenght: % ABV - Contact info - Code or batch - Place of origin - Certain specific ingredients Mandatory for some: - Minimum durability - Allergens - Easily understandable language - One or more official languages - Additional (not alternative to text) pictogram for sulphites in wine and sparkling wine
6 National Governmental actions: Germany 2004 (mandatory): Age limits for alcopops France 2007 (mandatory): Alcohol consumption and pregnancy Russia 2007 (mandatory): Health warnings for different target groups, age limits United Kingdom 2007 (agreement): Alcohol content in units Lower-risk guidelines Alcohol and pregnancy message
7 Alcohol industries actions (voluntary): Denmark (1995): Alcohol content in units (revised 2009) The Netherlands (2004): Responsible drinking message (website) Germany (2006): Age limits: Beer? Sorry, at 16 years. Drinking and Driving (campaigns) Responsible drinking message: Enjoy beer consciously Lithuania (2010): Age limits
8 Combination of responsibility message and web address
9 Impact and effectiveness Greater awareness of the messages was identified (Stockwell 2006). Evidence of awareness and recall of the messages was found, especially among teenagers & pregnant women (McKinnon et al. 2000, Guillemont & Leon 2008). Increasing awareness of the standard drink concept was also shown in Australia (Loxley et al. 2004). It was shown that 17% of the year-old alcohol consumers were prevented from buying alcopops when using age limits labels (Federal Institute for Health Education 2005).
10 Determinants to grab attention: Label clutter Location Orientation Contrast Colour Pictorials Signal icons/ texts Border Combination
11 Results of a qualitative study (VicHealth 2009): At the beginning, health warnings should be factual and informative; Labels most likely to be effective are those linked with existing media campaigns; If images are included, they would be more effective if they are linked with other elements of a social marketing campaign; Messages should not tell the consumers what to do. Participants who had personal bad experiences in relation with their drinking behaviours are especially reluctant to these types of messages; Health Warning was the most preferred wording.
12 Suggestions of Health Warning labels (Eurocare 2009)
13 Suggestions of Health Warning labels (SABMiller plc 2010, July 2010)
14 South Africa: Practices on health warnings on alcoholic beverages Health messages on container labels of alcoholic beverages are ruled by law: 1. Alcohol reduces driving ability, don t drink and drive 2. Don t drink and walk on the road, you may be killed 3. Alcohol increases your risk to personal injuries 4. Alcohol is major cause of violence and crime 5. Alcohol abuse is dangerous to your health 6. Alcohol is addictive 7. Drinking during pregnancy can be harmful to your inborn baby
15 Conclusions on the experiences on consumer labelling: Mandatory regulations should be the best way to use health warning labels and other information on alcoholic beverages, because... they ensure widest possible reach of the population; they ensure a design that enhances visibility, e.g. they should determine the minimum size and the placement of the health warnings on the labels; they ensure the relevance of the content of the messages, which really closing the gaps of knowledge among the consumers; they provide the opportunity to support and reinforce warning messages on alcoholic beverages with similar messages on alcohol advertisement; they ensure accessibility of specific target groups, e.g. pregnant women.
