About Alcohol

Alcohol is a broad ingredient label that can refer to food-grade ethanol used in food products. The name does not specify its concentration, source, or whether it is presented as a liquid ingredient or incorporated into a finished product, so those details should not be inferred.

In foods it may occur as an ingredient or carrier, and its sensory effect depends on the amount and the surrounding formulation. The label does not identify a beverage, a particular spirit, or a specific alcohol-containing recipe. Its exact form and use must be determined from the product context.
