We are two years into a three year implementation period for pregnancy warnings on ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages, and Australian researchers say just over one third are complying. The team looked at 491 RTD products sold in three bottle-Os in Sydney, and say that while 94% of them had some form of a pregnancy warning, only 36% showed the mandatory version. Of the non mandatory warnings, 74% were DrinkWise warnings, and 27% were 'Other' warnings, they say.
