Federal Alcohol Administration Act

The Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) is a U.S. law established in 1935 that regulates the production, distribution, and labeling of alcoholic beverages. Its primary purpose is to ensure fairness and safety in the alcohol industry, helping to prevent misleading advertising and ensuring the quality of products. It created the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), which oversees licensing for producers and distributors. The Act also enforces standards for labeling and advertising, aiming to protect consumers and maintain orderly commerce in alcoholic beverages.
