YORK - The Treasury Department is considering a new rule that would
require companies to put alcoholic content, serving sizes and
nutritional information on all alcoholic drink packaging.
According
to the proposed rule being published Tuesday for public comment, labels
on all alcoholic beverages -- from beer cans to wine bottles -- would
include a statement of the drink's percentage of alcohol by volume.
The
labels would also include a "serving facts" panel, which would list the
number of calories, carbohydrates, fat and protein for a standard
serving size. Click here to view the entire article.
