"The proposals represent a momentous step toward ensuring consumers have access to the information they need to make informed choices, follow health guidelines and avoid allergic reactions," CSPI officials said in a statement.
"Companies have been allowed to provide the information voluntarily for several years. However, advocates have maintained that a limited number of companies used voluntary labels, underscoring the need for a mandatory policy."
"The department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau is seeking public content on proposals to require an 'alcohol facts' box that would list alcohol content, calories, carbohydrates, fat and protein per serving."
"The changes are consistent with the bureau's mandate to ensure that labels provide consumers with adequate information about the identity, quality and alcohol content of alcohol beverages."
