In the letter, CSPI mentioned two Government warning labels found on a popular brand of vodka that they believed failed to meet Federal labeling requirements. In his response, Mr. Libertucci thanked CSPI for alerting TTB to these labels and agreed that technical problems exist on the labels. TTB is taking corrective action. Mr. Libertucci went on to say, “We assure you that TTB will continue to carefully review both applications for label approval as well as products currently in the marketplace to ensure that the Government Warning Statements meet the regulatory requirements.” Here are links to CSPI’s letter and Mr. Libertucci’s response.
