Frequently someone folks come here and ask about UV and Ozone systems that some companies advertise as magical solutions.

There is plenty of posts on TFP explaining why those system don’t work as advertised on pools. But there are not FDA warnings about not using those in pools and that is not because those systems don’t deserve a warning but because pools are completely outside FDA scope.

Below you can see a FDA warning about use of UV and Ozone as sanitizer of something that is FDA regulated. Have a good reading.

It is not that UV and Ozone are not sanitizer. They are wildly used as as sanitizers in closed systems, where they have the needed concentration to be a sanitizer without killing the user/operator ;).
