The numerous deadly hand sanitizer products containing methanol are manufactured in Mexico and the NDC numbers plus the brand names are listed in this video. The non-toxic brands contain various degrees of the active ingredient ethyl alcohol or ethanol. Ethanol is highly flammable and should not be used near open flames. Ethanol inhalation can cause coughing or headaches, according to the CDC.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has labeled ethanol as a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) substance, which means that a panel of qualified experts determined that ethanol is safe to use in food products. Because ethanol is a very pure form of alcohol, its consumption and use in foods is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Q: What is the difference between ethanol and methanol?
Methanol is poisonous, and it is one of the chemicals that can be used in small amounts to denature alcohol (also known as ethanol) to keep people from drinking ethanol products such as mouth wash and fuel blends.
