§ 110695 Alcohol In Confectionery Labeling

• •If candy has more than 0.5% alcohol by weight, it must say so on the label.
• •If the candy has too much alcohol and doesn’t tell you, it’s breaking the law.
• •This rule is to make sure people know what’s in their food.

You buy a box of chocolates, and one of them has a little bit of rum in it.

If the rum makes up more than 0.5% of the chocolate’s weight, the box must say 'Contains Alcohol' on the label. If it doesn’t say that, the chocolates are misbranded, and the company could get in trouble.
