‘Drinks companies agree to warn pregnant women about risks’

Most bottles of alcoholic drink sold in the Netherlands will have to carry a health warning for pregnant women in two years’ time, the Telegraaf reports on Tuesday.

The paper says the drinks industry has promised junior health minister Martin van Rijn to include a warning on ‘as many bottles as possible’. The logo will appear on 90% of beers, 70% of wine and 60% of spirits, the Telegraaf says.
