FDA Wants More Proof

The FDA announced Monday that some anti-bacterial products suck at killing germs, so from now on, the products releasing their "germ killing" soaps must prove that their product really does kill germs. This doesn't apply to hand sanitizers or wipes because they don't require water to use them. They need proof on the soaps because they are used in medical facilities and food preparation areas. They tell us how to properly wash our hands with the FDA approved soaps.

"To properly wash your hands, use clean cold or warm water and apply soap to both hands before rubbing them together to create a lather. Scrub the entire hand, including between the fingers and the back of the hands, for at least 20 seconds, or until you’ve hummed the “Happy Birthday” song twice. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely.  "
