Cancer warnings on alcohol: 'Ireland's food and drinks industry will become a global pariah,' says federation

Cancer warnings will be placed on alcohol products under new legislation.

Update - 1.07pm: The Alcohol Beverage Federation of Ireland (ABFI) has said that Ireland's food and drinks industry will become "a global pariah" after the Government introduces cancer warning labels on all alcohol products sold in Ireland.

The ABFI said that "the anti-small business and anti-trade measure" would impact the reputation of Ireland’s quality drinks brands and claimed it will hit jobs.
