It makes me sad that very few people see this as a concern. If there is alcohol in the product it should be made blatantly obvious.
It wouldn't hurt to put it in the box that contains things that people avoid or could be allergic too, for example vegetarians and vegans are respected and told when there is meat or dairy in the products?

I would think british muslims make up more of the population than a lot of the allergy groups or specific dietary needs like vegans, I may be wrong...

But I wouldn't appreciate it if I was deceived in such a way. Do people give their children Shandy to take to school? I don't class shandy as a suitable childrens drink anyway, and from what i've gathered from previous threads most people on this forum dont either as they dont give their children fizzy drinks at all, never mind drinks with alcohol in it.

I don't really know what to say to this thread, it just makes me disappointed. I don't know many people of my age group that feel this way about muslims or any other race/religion that doesnt drink alcohol or eat certain things. Why do the older generations have these ideas?
