Make sure you know what you're getting!
Labelling of alcoholic drinks
Alcoholic drinks, which contain more that 1.2% alcohol must be labelled as such.
In fact, the specific alcohol content must be stated on the packaging in the form of "Alcohol X%" or "Alc X%". This must also be given to drinks sold in pubs and restaurants.
Labelling of Genetically Modified foods
Genetic modification is where genes in an organism are allowed to carry information and instructions for a particular feature using biotechnology.
This technology has been used in a number of different ways to aid food manufactures and suppliers. Some of these features include an extended storage life or nutritional value of food.
The Food Standards Agency recognises that not everyone will want to buy GM foods, however carefully they have been assessed for safety. All foods that contain GM food must be labelled accordingly.
