Updated FDA Guidence 3/24/20

This guidance is being issued to address the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency. This is being implemented without prior public comment because FDA has determined that prior public participation for this guidance is not feasible or appropriate (see section 701(h)(1)(C)(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and 21 CFR 10.115(g)(2)). This guidance document is being implemented immediately, but it remains subject to comment in accordance with the Agency’s good guidance practices.

Allelujah!  I was considering defiant action, but reason prevails on both sides!  Additionally, although the possibility of illicit use by those in desperate need of an alcoholic beverage, the issue of children accidentally ingesting it made me cough. I used to work in a profession where contact with the Poison Control Center was on speed dial. Since children have been known to wilfully ingest Drano, what could we possibly do to ethyl alcohol to top that for an unpleasant taste deterrent ?
