ALCOHOL TAX & TRADE BUREAU

TTB FLAVORING INFORMATION

Flavors used in alcoholic beverages must be approved by the Alcohol Tax & Trade Bureau or TTB, disclosing the composition of the flavor. 

Our in-house team can assist you as you explore this process.  From providing Flavor Ingredient Data Sheets (FIDS) to information on our vast collection of 1200+ TTB approved flavors, we’re here to help. Our flavors can be found in spirits, liqueurs, ready to drink cocktails, craft beer, wine and more. 

What is a Flavor Ingredient Data Sheet (FIDS)? FIDS discloses ingredients that are limited or would affect the labeling of an alcohol beverage. This information is essential when adding flavors to alcoholic beverages.
