US places sanitizers on watch list, NAFDAC alerts Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has alerted the
 public as the US placed all alcohol-based hand sanitisers, manufactured in Mexico on watch list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, made this known in a statement released to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, Aig Media PRO reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has alerted the
 public as the US placed all alcohol-based hand sanitisers, manufactured in Mexico on watch list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adeyeye said the move became necessary to help stop product falsification and chemical reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She went ahead to explained that the products will be on the US watch list until the agency is able to certify it’s safe for people to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe USFDA had noticed a high increase in hand sanitiser products from Mexico that were labelled to contain ethanol but tested positive for methanol contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMethanol is a substance that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin and life-threatening when ingested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is also not an acceptable ingredient in hand sanitiser or other drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnder the import alert, alcohol-based hand sanitisers from Mexico are subject to heightened FDA scrutiny,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
