How TTB
Protects the Public
American adults who enjoy an occasional
alcohol beverage of their choice do so without
fear that the product they are consuming
might not be labeled properly. Why don’t they
need to worry? Because a small Government
agency takes pride in assuring that the alcohol
beverages sold in the United States are properly
described on the container.
TTB takes tremendous pride in its strategic
mission to “Protect the Public,” which is designed
to assure the integrity of alcohol beverages in
the marketplace, verify and substantiate industry
member compliance with laws and regulations,
and to provide information to the public as a
means of preventing consumer deception.
TTB reviews more than 100,000 alcohol labels,
as well as advertisements, each year to verify
that they provide adequate information to the
consumer concerning the identity and quality of
each alcohol beverage and to make certain that
they do not mislead consumers.
TTB investigators conduct product integrity eld
investigations to check that industry members
are following all Federal labeling and production
standards for alcohol beverages. These
investigations often include a comprehensive
chemical analysis conducted at one of our two
state-of-the-art laboratories.
This informational pamphlet is designed to
educate the American public about how to read
an alcohol beverage label. If you want to learn
