Staying Compliant
TTB regulations govern everything from production methods to labeling claims. For spirits producers, staying current on regulatory requirements isn’t optional—it’s essential to staying in business.
Common compliance areas that trip up producers include formula approvals, Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) requirements, and proper record-keeping for bonded operations.
Key Compliance Areas
Formula approval for products with added flavoring or coloring
COLA submission for all labels before market release
Bonded premises requirements and reporting
Proper classification of spirits categories
ETHRA Ingredients offers TTB formulation and COLA submission services, helping brands navigate the regulatory landscape efficiently and avoid costly delays.
