Asahi Breweries has decided to start in July by marking the amount of alcohol on the label of cans such as beer not only in frequency but also in grams to make it easier for consumers to understand.
Asahi Breweries will start in July by adding the amount of alcohol to the label of cans such as beer and chu-hi in grams.
Since March, the amount of alcohol for each product has been published in grams on the company's website, but we decided to display it on the label of the can to make it easier for consumers to check.
By the end of next year, we plan to display it on all canned products containing alcohol.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare requires the industry to display the amount of alcohol in grams, with 40 grams or more per day for men and 20 grams or more for women, as a guideline for alcohol intake, which increases the risk of lifestyle-related diseases. I have decided.
Prior to this, the beer industry has announced plans for Kirin to begin labeling cans by 2024, and Suntory and Sapporo will also publish on their website later this year.
