Hi All,
If an alcoholic beverages manufacturer starts to sell, botanicals to other manufacturers, as ingredients to their alcoholic beverages (the seller repacks and relabels the products before selling on) , does that mean the selling company becomes a food business / distributor ?
i found that in the European market , two legal status' for botanicals co exist ,
A) botanicals as traditional herbal medicinal products
B) botanicals as foods, per / food supplements
so , in my understanding , the botanicals sold as ingredients, for alcoholic beverages doesn't meet the above criteria / fall into these categories, so is the business in this scenario, a food business ?
also, what is the labelling criteria ?
Many thanks,
