New York Times: Ethanol In Hand Sanitizer Contains Carcinogenic Contaminant

PETROLEUM DERIVED ETHANOL FAILS SAFETY STANDARDS

According to the New York Times & Reuters, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 15 April 2020 issued limits on certain chemicals permitted in alcohol-based hand sanitizer, updating temporary guidance it adopted last month as the health crisis deepened and more manufacturers registered to produce hand sanitizer.

Since then, the FDA has notified several fuel ethanol companies that their product does not meet safety standards, forcing them to halt production and cancel supply agreements.

In one case, the FDA said it had found significant levels of the carcinogen acetaldehyde in ethanol supplied by a company for use in hand sanitizer, according to a recent email exchange seen by Reuters.

“FDA has reviewed your ethanol data and determined that it is not acceptable as an ingredient under the Agency’s temporary hand sanitizer policies,” it wrote.
