The law will apply from 22 May 2026.

MINISTER FOR HEALTH Stephen Donnelly has signed into law the Public Health Regulations 2023 and the remaining provisions of Section 12 of the Public Health Act.

They will warn about the risk of consuming alcohol when pregnant and will also warn of the risk of liver disease and fatal cancers from alcohol consumption. “Packaging of other food and drink products already contains health information and, where appropriate, health warnings. This law is bringing alcohol products into line with that.”
