This is the 6th of 7 label filings we hold from Modelo. It is one of 9 mexican lager labels approved in December 2024. It cleared 4 days after it was filed. It was brewed under contract — OZ TRADING GROUP INC holds the permit, which is ordinary in the register and easy to miss on a shelf. It is an imported label, filed for US distribution.
The front label presents the beer name
From the label“Front label explicitly states 'CERVEZA' (Spanish for beer) and 'Especial' branding. Back label identifies 'Modelo' as the brand. The product is labeled 'BEER' and the ABV of 5.3% is consistent with a Mexican-style lager. The label states 'MADE IN MEXICO' and 'PRODUCT OF MEXICO'. The importer statement reads 'IMPORTED BY: OZ TRADING GROUP INC.' indicating this is a contract-produced Mexican beer imported to the US. The golden color, Mexican origin, and 'Especial' designation are consistent with the iconic Mexican lager style.”
