(b) Voluntary labeling standards. Major food allergens (defined in paragraph (a)(1) of this section) used in the production of a distilled spirit product may, on a voluntary basis, be declared on any label affixed to the container.

The major food allergens declaration must consist of the word “Contains” followed by a colon and the name of the food source from which each major food allergen is derived (for example, “Contains:  egg”).

(c) Cross reference. For mandatory labeling requirements applicable to distilled spirits products containing FD & C Yellow No. 5 and sulfites, see §§ 5.32(b)(5) and (7).
