Florida’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco has been asked to answer the question of whether alcohol infused gelatin is subject to the DABT’s current licensing and regulation as an “alcoholic beverage” defined under section 561.01(4)(a), Florida Statutes. We will post the DABT’s answer when it is received.

Winn Dixie is seeking the DABT’s opinion as to the applicability of 561.42(1), 61A-1.010 and 61A-1.0107 as it applies to Winn Dixie. In particular, “whether section 561.42(1), Florida Statutes, and Rules 61A-1.010 and 61A-1.0107, Florida Administrative Code, prohibit a distributor of alcoholic beverages from reimbursing the actual costs [Winn Dixie] incurs to remove, ship, or dispose of the distributor’s recalled products, and whether petitioner is prohibited from receiving such reimbursement.” A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Agency Clerk’s Office, 2601 Blair Stone Rd., Tallahassee, FL 32399, (850)717-1183, AGC.filing@myfloridalicense.com.
