What makes alcohol food grade?
Food grade alcohol is ethanol that is intended for human consumption and can be used in food and drink production. Any ethanol that is not denatured applies to be food grade; however, the distribution of food grade ethanol requires adherence to strict norms and regulations. Even though food grade alcohol can be made from various agricultural origins, they all have high purity and are devoid of any additives.
One product - various food applications
As the name suggests, food grade ethanol is mostly, but not exclusively, used in food and beverage products. In the beverage industry, it serves as a base for distilled spirits like rum and vodka, while ethanol is found in food products such as flavouring agents and vinegar.
Non-food sectors might also use food grade alcohol for products that comes in contact with people’s skin, such as hand sanitisers and cosmetics.
