The EU may reclassify ethanol as hazardous due to health risks, affecting sanitizers and industries by 2027.
The European Union is assessing whether to reclassify ethanol as a hazardous substance due to potential cancer and reproductive risks, based on a report from the European Chemicals Agency dated October 10, 2025.
The review, led by the Biocidal Products Committee in late November 2025, could lead to warning labels or usage limits on ethanol-based sanitizers if finalized by 2027.
While the WHO maintains that topical ethanol use is safe and effective, the EU aims to balance infection control with long-term health concerns, potentially affecting hygiene, cosmetics, and biofuel industries.
