Flavors Used in Alcoholic Beverages

The manufacturer must provide information to the alcohol beverage manufacturer on any U.S. Food and Drug Administration limited ingredients and TTB limited ingredients.
The manufacturer may download and use the Flavor Ingredient Data Sheet (FIDS) to disclose those ingredients that are limited or would affect the labeling of the alcohol beverage (e.g., FD&C Yellow #5).
The manufacturer must submit TTB Form 5154.1 to the NPL when selling flavors to producers of alcohol beverages, regardless of whether those flavors contain alcohol, disclosing the composition of the flavor.
