FDA asks hand sanitizer producers to make them taste worse


The FDA is asking alcohol hand sanitizer manufacturers to add denatured alcohol to the products they make so there is a bitter taste to make them “unpalatable to people, especially young children.”

The agency says it understands manufacturers are choosing not to use denatured alcohol for economic and business reasons, but is asking them to consider this recommendation to improve safety.
