Unlike the FCC and USP monograms which regulate based on the purity of the final product, Kosher certification is concerned with every part of the processing and sourcing. As most ethanol is fermented and distilled from grain, sugar cane or corn without use of animal materials, Kosher-compliance is not very difficult to obtain.
Beyond the traditional roles of ethanol in food production, Kosher food grade ethanol can be used as an alternative solvent in cases where it is impossible to modify the traditional processing to make it Kosher.
Ethanol 200 Proof (100%) Undenatured Alcohol is USP/FCC food grade ethyl alcohol, CAS 64-17-5, supplied as a 55 gallon drum. It’s a liquid with the formula C2H5OH and a molecular weight of 46.07. Boiling point is 78°C (173°F). Auto-ignition temperature is 363°C (685°F). The product name lists Kosher and Halal, and the listing carries Food Grade, GRAS, Kosher, Vegan and GMO Free badges. The GRAS reference citation is 21 CFR 184.1293. Documents are one click away under Product Manuals, including the Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet, Kosher Certification, Food Grade Statement, GRAS document and a long list of Certificates of Analysis.
