Good to Know

When it comes to what your family eats and drinks, the facts are Good to Know.

That’s why America’s beverage companies launched Good to Know, a new initiative designed to empower Americans with easy-to-understand information about the ingredients in their drinks so they can make the decisions that are right for them. It is another step in our long history of working together to bring Americans more choices and clear information.

Delivering Straightforward Information

GoodtoKnowFacts.org is where Americans can start to explore more than 140 beverage ingredients compiled in one place for the first time, including:

  • Common uses
  • Alternative names
  • Safety & regulatory status

Good to Know provides Americans with the global food safety scientific assessments from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, European Food Safety Authority and Health Canada. It also identifies for the first time which ingredients have a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Self-Determined authorization.

This is a first stop that provides just the facts, with no opinions or recommendations – recognizing other resources are available for that.
