(SACRAMENTO BEE) The FDA’s Do Not Use hand sanitizer list, once a roll call of Mexican-made hand sanitizers with methanol, now includes hand sanitizers from China, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia and Utah.
And methanol’s been joined by 1-propanol as a prohibited “toxic” ingredient.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information said 1-propanol “is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, and for resins and cellulose esters.”
