In anticipation of the new organic labeling rules, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms requires that as of May 1, 2000, that beverage alcohol labels containing some reference to organic products be qualified with the statement: "Approved pending USDA final rule establishing a National Organic Program (see 65 Fed. Reg. 13512 March 13, 2000)."
