The FDA is imposing a $14,060 fee on distilleries for making hand sanitizer amid a worldwide pandemic.
It's designating them as "monograph drug facilities" for making over-the-counter hand sanitizer.
Craft distillery owners say it's yet another blow to their small businesses and is wiping away profits in an already difficult year.
In the spring of this year, when the novel coronavirus struck, the world experienced a massive panic-buying of hand sanitizer. Even hospitals and other healthcare facilities in the US reported shortages.
