# 20.190 Diversion of articles for internal human use or beverage use.

An appropriate TTB officer who has reason to believe that the spirits in any article are being reclaimed or diverted to beverage or internal human use may direct the permittee to modify an approved formula to prevent the reclamation or diversion. The appropriate TTB officer may require the permittee to discontinue the use of the formula until it has been modified and again approved.
