Popular Post snoop1130 Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 The Thai Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) is warning people not to spray ethyl alcohol directly onto their food, in the misbelief that the substance can kill the COVID-19 virus. Ethyl alcohol, used in the manufacture of sanitizer gels among other things, is colourless in its original form, highly inflammable and is capable of killing pathogens, but it is not suitable for human consumption. According to the TFDA, there are different grades of alcohol, including food-grade alcohol, which is used in the food processing industry, especially in the production of raw materials, or used as a food ingredient in very small amounts, with the exception of alcoholic drinks.

Popular Post internationalism Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 it's hospital alcohol, with very bitter taste, to prevent medics from stealing it and alcoholics and kids from abusing it for 70b per litre. It's safe for drinking. It's methyl alcohol which can make people go blind 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudorabies Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Great. First we have to wear face masks during sex. Now ethanol is not fit for human consumption. Some of these announcements read like they were written at The Onion. I don't see anything wrong with rinsing food with 70% ethanol as long as it's just ethanol and water AND it isn't done in front of an open flame. The problem as I see it is that it's hard to find ethanol in Thailand that isn't formulated with fragrance, dye, and other ingredients that you probably don't want to be eating. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lujanit Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hmmm, denatured ethanol is made principally to get around excise. The addition of methanol (or other similar additives) which makes the consumption poisonous makes ethanol non-taxable. This has been doing the rounds of social media for a while now. It is an extension of spraying parcels delivered to home by spraying them first. People who don't know any better and who can't think logically subscribe to this nonsense.

Gsxrnz Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Many market vendors still spray their chicken with formalin to stop it going off while on display. Alcohol would be a welcome variation to the diet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
