Put nutrition fact labels on alcoholic beverages, U.S. agency says

Put nutrition fact labels on alcoholic beverages, U.S. agency says

The U.S. Treasury Department is considering new proposals that could lead to more detailed information on allergens and nutritional value being displayed on alcohol labels. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has published two proposed rules: one to add an “Alcohol Facts” box similar to the “Nutrition Facts” found on food products, and another to require disclosure of major food allergens used in the production process.

Public health and consumer advocates have long pushed for clearer labeling on alcohol, which has historically been exempt from standard food label requirements due to TTB regulation. While the proposals wouldn’t mandate listing all ingredients, they aim to provide consumers with more information to make informed choices and avoid allergic reactions.

If approved, the new allergen rule would require labels to highlight the presence of milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, and sesame in the production process. The Alcohol Facts box would include details on serving sizes, calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Alcohol companies would have five years to comply with these rules if finalized, with public feedback being accepted until mid-April.

Some industry representatives have suggested using QR codes or website links for information, but public health advocates argue that this could create barriers to accessing crucial details. The Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. emphasized the need for flexibility in providing information to consumers.

The proposed Alcohol Facts panel would include the alcohol content per serving, helping consumers understand the amount of alcohol they are consuming. While the labels wouldn’t need to include information on standard drink sizes, they would specify serving sizes based on alcohol content.

Guidelines on alcohol consumption may change over time as new research emerges. Recent reports have highlighted the link between moderate drinking and cancer risks, prompting a reevaluation of consumption recommendations. The new proposals follow years of advocacy efforts for transparent alcohol labeling, with ongoing discussions on ingredient labeling and advertising requirements.

Overall, the proposals aim to end the exceptionalism in alcohol labeling and provide consumers with more information to make informed decisions about their alcohol consumption. The inclusion of ingredient lists would further enhance transparency in the market, according to consumer advocacy groups.
