More time to gripe about calorie counts on beer labels

## Summary

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is giving everyone more time—120 extra days—to share their thoughts on new label rules for wines, spirits, and beers. These rules would add an "Alcohol Facts" section showing alcohol, calories, and nutrients per serving, plus list major food allergens. If you’re a producer or just curious, mark your calendar: comments are now due by August 15, 2025, with no immediate cost changes yet.

## Abstract

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is extending for an additional 120 days the comment periods for two notices of proposed rulemaking it published on January 17, 2025. The first proposes to require disclosure of per-serving alcohol, calorie, and nutrient content information in an "Alcohol Facts" statement on the labels of alcohol beverages subject to the authority of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) (Notice No. 237), while the second proposes to require labeling of major food allergens used in the production of alcohol beverages on such labels (Notice No. 238). TTB is taking this action to provide additional time for public comments in response to requests received during the comment period.

## Effects PRIA read

- Alcohol Facts label: per‑serving info: benefit, low. TTB proposes an "Alcohol Facts" label that would show per‑serving alcohol, calories, and nutrient content on labels of wines, distilled spirits, and malt beverages subject to TTB authority. The proposal expressly calls for disclosure of per‑serving alcohol, calorie, and nutrient information in an "…
- Mandatory alcohol content on some beers and wines: cost, medium. TTB proposes mandatory alcohol content statements for certain types of beer and wine that are not currently required to show alcohol content. This would require producers of those specific products to add alcohol content statements on their labels.
- Allergen labeling for alcohol beverages: benefit, high. TTB proposes requiring labels to declare major food allergens used in production of alcohol beverages, including milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, and sesame, and ingredients that contain protein derived from these foods. Labels would need to list those al…
- Five‑year compliance deadline proposed: mixed, medium. Both proposed rules include a compliance date of 5 years from the date a final rule is published in the Federal Register. That timeline would set when affected producers must meet the new labeling requirements.
