Health & Safety
Do any Fee Brothers products contain common ALLERGENS?
While most Fee Brothers products do not contain any of the FDA’s “Big 9” allergens (i.e., soy, wheat, dairy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish, egg, sesame), there are a few exceptions listed below:
Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters contains the tree nut allergen (walnut) as classified by the FDA. Additionally, this product contains sulphites as a preservative.
Additionally, the following Fee Brothers products contain the dairy allergen (milk) as classified by the FDA:
- Swee-Tart Mix
- Whiskey Sour Mix
- Post Mix Sour
Are Fee Brothers products KOSHER?
At this point, most of our products have been certified Kosher by OK Kosher, except for the following:
- Gin Barrel-Aged Orange Bitters (not to be confused with our West Indian Orange Bitters)
- Swee-Tart Mix
- Olive Brine
We also have a few products which are Kosher-Dairy:
- Whiskey Sour Mix
- Post Mix Sour
Fee Brothers became Kosher certified in 2022, and given the long shelf-life of our products, it is important to ensure that the Kosher symbol is printed on the label to ensure it is certified.
Are Fee Brothers products GLUTEN-FREE?
Most of our offerings, including our bitters, cordial syrups, brines, botanical waters, and coffee flavorings, are certified gluten-free by Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG).
There are, however, two exceptions to this rule: Fee Brothers Swee-Tart Mix and Fee Brothers Olive Brine. These specific products are not certified gluten-free because they are produced and packaged in facilities separate from our main production facility and are outside of our certification.
It’s important to note that our certification occurred in November 2022. Please check the label to make sure the Gluten-Free symbol below is on present to ensure the product is Gluten-Free.
Are Fee Brothers products VEGAN?
Most Fee Brothers products have been self-declared as vegan. However, it’s important to note that some specific products do contain dairy ingredients and therefore are not considered vegan. These products include:
- Swee-Tart Mix
- Whiskey Sour Mix
- Post Mix Sour
The determination of vegan status for our products is made internally through self-declaration, a standard practice within the food and beverage industry. Fee Brothers conducts a thorough review of documentation and certificates of analysis provided by each of our ingredient suppliers for every raw material utilized in our batch production process.
Do Fee Brothers bitters contain ALCOHOL?
While many bitters are spirits-based, Fee Brothers marches to the beat of a different drum. Our bitters are crafted with vegetable glycerin instead of spirits. Fun fact: this original recipe was how we survived Prohibition!
It’s important to note that while our bitters don’t contain alcohol spirits, the flavoring ingredients do contain alcohol essence the same way that vanilla extract contains alcohol essence.
Do Fee Brothers products have an EXPIRATION DATE?
Most of our products are inherently shelf-stable, however, we do assign a shelf-life for best quality. The exception to this is for our Olive Brine, which has a 12-month shelf life from manufacturing date.
All best by dates are printed onto product labels that can generally be found on the side of the bottles.
Specific product call outs can be found below:
