What started as an operation for Nebraska has now turned into a nationwide effort.
According the Nebraska Ethanol Board, nearly 7,000 gallons of Nebraska-made sanitizer has been donated and shipped to Maryland and dispersed throughout the country to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) employees responsible for ensuring the safety of meat, poultry, and egg products.
An additional 6,500 gallons is planned to also be donated and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), says this will be no problem.
Green Plains has donated 81,000 gallons of FCC and they did not hesitate to help out when the request came in from the USDA.
