Is Food Grade Ethanol Legal in Pennsylvania?

Food grade ethanol is legal in Pennsylvania when used for approved non-beverage applications, such as herbal extraction, botanical processing, and formulation work.

This product is undenatured, food grade ethanol, meaning it contains no additives and is intended for functional use rather than consumption as a beverage. Pennsylvania requires an AN or AE permit to purchase and use this type of ethanol, ensuring compliance with state regulations.

Shipping and Delivery to Pennsylvania

All shipments are sent via ground transportation due to ethanol’s flammable classification. This ensures safe and compliant delivery from the distillery to your location.

What to expect:

Orders typically arrive in approximately two business days after shipment, with one business day for processing. Tracking information is provided once your order ships, with updates through delivery confirmation.

Shipments must be delivered to a physical address. PO boxes and carrier hold requests are not permitted.
