TTB Issues Interim Policy for Labeling Gluten-Free Spirits
On May 24, 2012, U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) issued an Interim Policy on Gluten Content Statements in the Labeling and Advertising of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages (TTB Ruling 2012-2). Currently, there is no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation that defines the term "gluten-free," but, it's good to see that's not stopping TTB from moving forward.
