- Abstract:
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) plays a critical role in protecting the United States from emerging infectious diseases, such as the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. FDA is committed to providing timely guidance to support continuity and response efforts to this pandemic. FDA is issuing this guidance in response to a number of queries from entities that are not currently registered drug manufacturers that would like to produce alcohol (ethanol) for incorporation into alcohol-based hand sanitizers. This policy does not extend to other types of active ingredients for incorporation into alcohol-based hand sanitizers, such as isopropyl alcohol.
