Consumer Federation of America, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, and Alcohol Justice submitted the following comments to the U.S. Codex Office (USCO) in response to a request for information on alcohol labeling by the International Codex Alimentarius Commission. The letter urges the USCO to support strong standards for alcohol labeling, and in particular, to support standards that ensure consumers have access to basic information about all beverages’ energy, macronutrient, alcohol content, ingredients, and standard servings, and that provide for updated health warnings that address the significant public health costs associated with alcohol. The letter urges the USCO to operate more transparently and warns against obstructing better alcohol labeling standards in the name of trade harmonization.
