Labeling of Major Food Allergens and Petitions for Exemption

The Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations regarding the labeling of wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages in order to, among other things, prohibit consumer deception and ensure that labels provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity and quality of such products. Under this authority, the TTB regulations allow for the voluntary labeling of major food allergens (as defined in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (118 Stat. 905)) used in the production of alcohol beverages. The regulations require that, if any one major food allergen is voluntarily declared, all major food allergens used in the product must be declared, except when TTB has approved a petition for exemption from such labeling. This information collection includes the labeling of allergens and petitions for exemption.
