[MONDAY MINUTE] Nutrition Facts Labeling for Alcohol in the "MAHA Era" 🤔

And for tonight’s Final Jeopardy question in the category of alcoholic beverages, the clue is this…which U.S. government official would ultimately be responsible for nutrition labeling rules involving alcohol producers? If you answered, “what is the Treasury Secretary,” you’d be correct! And that’s because oddly enough…the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau sits under the Department of the Treasury. So, when consumer advocacy groups lobby for nutritional transparency, such as making a Nutrition Facts panel standard on all alcohol products, they’re usually talking to bankers and not public health professionals. And if this topic of alcohol nutrition labels sounds vaguely familiar, within one of my earliest YouTube videos from mid-2019, I examined a “marketing-driven transparency decision” by Bud Light…concluding that “the change in transparency would ultimately a win for beer drinkers but wouldn’t change the brand’s sales materially.”
