Regulations and Guidance
TTB Proposes 'Alcohol Facts' and Major Allergen Labeling for Alcohol Beverages
In Notice No. 237 and Notice No. 238, TTB is, respectively, (1) proposing to require disclosure of per-serving alcohol, calorie, and nutrient content information in an "Alcohol Facts" statement and (2) disclosure of all major food allergens used in the production of alcohol beverages on all alcohol beverage labels subject to TTB's regulatory authority. TTB is proposing a compliance date of 5 years from the date of publication for any final rules resulting from these proposals. See the two notices for details on how and where to comment. All comments are due by April 17, 2025.
TTB Authorizes Additional Standards of Fill for Wine and Distilled Spirits
This final rule amends the TTB regulations to add 13 standards of fill for wine and 15 for distilled spirits, and it also amends the regulations to eliminate the distinction between standards of fill for distilled spirits in cans and those for distilled spirits in containers other than cans. These amendments respond to industry member requests for additional flexibility to use a wider range of container sizes and are expected to facilitate the movement of goods in domestic and international commerce while also providing consumers broader purchasing options. This final rule is effective January 10, 2025.
