What is the FDA watermark? How do I clear an FDA watermark?

The FDA watermark is displayed for federal compliance

Beginning May 7th, 2018, the FDA mandated all menu items include specific nutritional information, including calories and ABV.

FDA watermarks can be cleared by the product manufacturer ONLY through our Claim Your Brand platform.

Any product requests in SmartBar that do not meet the FDA requirement will display an “FDA” watermark on the image on SmartBar. A watermark will remain until the required information has been entered.

Before requesting a new brand, please make sure the brewer has logged onto Claim Your Brand and submitted all required information. Approval can take up to 2 business days.

To check the status of a beer visit cyb.beerboard.com and use the Search Beers or Bars Function.
