Hi,

I am working through my first COLA submission and I am a bit confused on the disclosure section of the label. Do I need to put "contains sulfites" on the label. We are not importing and havent been required to do lab analysis. I don't see it on any of the rum labels so I was wondering if it was a requirement?

Thanks,

Joe-

Thank you for your reply. I was a little confused by the wording in the Beverage Alcohol Manual. I have since got it cleared up. Here is an excerpt from the BAM on p.11.

11. SULFITE DECLARATION
REQUIRED
“CONTAINS SULFITES” or “CONTAINS (A) SULFITING AGENT(S)” or
identification of the specific sulfiting agent(s) is required on distilled spirits
containing 10 or more parts per million (ppm) sulfur dioxide
TYPE SIZE
Minimum 2 mm for containers larger than 200 ml
Minimum 1 mm for containers of 200 ml or less
LEGIBILITY
Must generally appear parallel to the base of the container
Must be readily legible
Must appear on a contrasting background
Must appear separate and apart or substantially more conspicuous than any
other descriptive or explanatory information
PLACEMENT
May appear on the FRONT, BACK or SIDE
of the container
It is funny how complicated these things seem until you get through a few.
