If you have to use alcohol sanitizer a lot due to your profession and have 30 cc ' s of vanilla extract and 30 cc ' s of mint extract with 240 cc ' s of condensed milk in your coffee the same day of your egt test will you fail?

Only if you are drinking the sanitizer.

Possibly but doubtful. However, alcohol is alcohol and you may find issues. People try to use this type of application as a reason they failed.

Yes, hand sanitizers can influence an ETG test.

Looks like you are trying to find an excuse to throw out if you get caught on a test. (as if they will even care because they have heard them all)

If you are under a court order to avoid alcohol... and have randon tests as a result... the source of the alcohol doesn't matter, drinking a shot of whiskey or a bottle of vanilla extract. Alcohol is alcohol... and if you read the fine print... you are required to avoid all forms of it. There are alcohol free formulations out there of almost everything so there are no excuses.

Soap and water is a very effective hand sanitizer... its worked for millennia, it just takes a little longer.

Extracts are made with alcohol, usually vodka, so drop them from your menu.

Depending on your requirements of your job and why you need the hand sanitizer you do have options:
Soap and Water. Read up on proper hand washing as there is a way to wash them effectively.
Bleach and water solution can be used as a sanitizer
There are non alcoholic hand sanitizers out there.

Talk to your boss to come up with a way you can work around this. When I did my food safety course hand washing was included and I was told that soap and water is just as effective (for cooking) when done properly compared to hand sanitizer.
I would suggest being honest with whoever you report to and explain that you just found this out. You may get a pass this once and this once only. Before you use anything read labels and become aware of what is in everything. It is your responsibility
