| Title: Disclosure of Cochineal Extract and Carmine in the Labeling of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages | |
| Abstract: TTB is proposing to revise its regulations to require the disclosure of the presence of cochineal extract and carmine on the labels of all alcohol beverage products. This proposed rule responds to a recent Final Rule issued by the Food and Drug Administration as well as reports of severe allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, to cochineal extract and carmine-containing foods. This proposal would allow consumers who are allergic to cochineal extract and carmine to identify and thus avoid alcohol beverage products that contain these color additives. | |
