No information at all on alcopops bottles - is this even legal?

Was looking at the alcopops in Tescos today. My eye was caught by Sourz FusionsZ Applebite so I looked at the label to see what it contained. It didn't say, just that it was a mixture of alcohol and fruit flavours with 4% alcohol. I can't find out what the ingredients are anywhere.

Is this legal, don't they have to say somewhere on the product?. It doesn't even say on the bottle where it was made or bottled.

It does say the manufacturer or maybe distributor is Beam Global in Glasgow but this product isn't even mentioned on their website. Can anyone throw any light on this?

There are different rulles for drinks with over 1.2% alcohol

It is strange how putting alcohol in a product means you do not have to put as much information on the label.
