(San Diego, CA) — United Brands Company, Inc., maker of JOOSE flavored malt beverage and beer products, is reviewing today’s letter from the FDA advising United Brands of the FDA’s reinterpretation of prior rulings related to caffeinated flavored malt beverages.

“United Brands disagrees with the FDA’s action and rationale, as well as the characterization of our products in the FDA ruling. We have complied with all national and state regulations, and will continue to do so,” said Michael Michail, CEO and President of United Brands. “We have seen no known reports of any health or safety incidents involving our products, and will continue to produce quality products that meet the demands of our loyal adult consumers.”

United Brands will continue engagement with alcohol regulatory bodies and legislators to ensure compliance with the latest guidance and to provide information on JOOSE products — both the current product line and future formulations.
