DIAGEO NOTES PUBLICATION OF PROPOSED READY TO DRINK REGULATIONS IN THE US
The United States Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB) yesterday published proposed new regulations on the formulation, labeling and advertising of ready to drink (RTDs) products or ‘flavoured malt beverages’ (FMBs). These proposed regulations provide for a public comment period of 90 days. It is not anticipated that the final regulations will become binding for a significant period of time.
These proposals would limit the alcohol contribution from flavours and other ingredients containing alcohol to 0.5% alcohol by volume. The proposals also solicit comments on other approaches, including one requiring that the majority of the alcohol in an FMB would be derived from the malt base. The proposals include additional regulations on labeling and advertising for FMBs. They specifically authorise the use of distilled spirit brand names on malt beverages. Among the products covered by the proposals would be Diageo’s Smirnoff Ice.
These proposals mark a change in US policy under which FMBs have been produced,
marketed and sold for the past 30 years, during which FMBs experienced strong
growth, vigorous competition and consumer satisfaction. Diageo intends to use
the 90-day comment period to provide input on the proposed
regulations.
