Comment on Proposed Rule: Major Food Allergen Labeling for Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages

CSPI commends TTB for issuing a proposed rule that would greatly improve transparency and protect consumers with food allergies by requiring labeling of the top nine major food allergens that does not exempt processing aids. We would support a variety of wording options for phrasing the disclosure (e.g. “Contains...”), provided that TTB adopts a specific required phrasing to ensure uniformity. Most importantly, we urge TTB to finalize the proposed rule as expeditiously as possible; U.S. residents have already waited more than long enough for this information.
