§ 25.58 New and superseding formulas.
(a) New formulas. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this section, you must file a new formula (with a new formula number) for approval by TTB if you -
(1) Create an entirely new fermented product that requires a formula;
(2) Add new ingredients to an existing formulation;
(3) Delete ingredients from an existing formulation;
(4) Change the quantity of an ingredient used from the quantity or range of usage in an approved formula;
(5) Change an approved processing, filtration, or other special method of manufacture that requires the filing of a formula; or
(6) Change the contribution of alcohol from flavors or ingredients that contain alcohol.
(b) Superseding formulas. You may file a superseding formula, instead of a new formula, if you have made any change listed in paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(6) of this section and that change is not of a type that would require a holder of a certificate of label approval to file a new application for label approval on TTB Form 5100.31.
(1) A superseding formula replaces an existing formula, and you should file one only if you do not intend to use the existing formula any more. A superseding formula must be filed with TTB for approval. When TTB approves a superseding formula, TTB will cancel your previous formula.
(2) You may use the same formula number for a superseding formula that you used for the formula the superseding formula replaces, but you must annotate the formula number to indicate it is a superseding formula number. (For example, “Formula 2, superseding.”)
