Manufacturer: Food ingredient suppliers, processors
Recommended Uses: Food manufacturing, seasoning, culinary applications
Emergency Contact: Refer to local authorities, company safety line
Chemical Family: Dehydrated fruit/vegetable material
Physical Form: Flakes, granules, or powder derived from green bell peppers

2. Hazard Identification

GHS Classification: Not considered hazardous under normal food-grade use
Potential Health Hazards: May cause mild respiratory discomfort if dust is inhaled; possible irritation to eyes or skin through direct contact
Environmental Hazards: Not classified as dangerous for the environment when handled properly
Signal Word: None required under standard classification; standard precautions apply
Pictograms: None assigned
Hazard Statements: Inhalation of dust may lead to temporary discomfort or coughing
Precautionary Statements: Avoid creating dust clouds; prevent eye and skin contact for sensitive individuals

3. Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Ingredient: Dehydrated green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum)
Chemical Components: Primarily carbohydrates, dietary fiber, minor protein, vitamin C, minor natural pigments, trace minerals
Purity: Minimum 98% pure dehydrated vegetable content
Additives: No artificial colors, preservatives, or flavorings present in standard product
Allergens: None expected unless cross-contamination occurs during processing

4. First Aid Measures

General Advice: Move exposed person to fresh air if irritation or allergic reaction shows after inhaling dust
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water; seek medical attention for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes under gently running water for several minutes; consult a doctor if irritation continues
Inhalation: Move to ventilated area; drink water if throat feels dry; seek medical advice if breathing problems develop
Ingestion: Product intended for consumption, no special action required except in cases of rare allergic reactions

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, CO2, dry chemical, foam
Specific Hazards: Fine dust or flour can form explosive mixtures with air in confined situations
Special Firefighting Procedures: Avoid generating dust clouds; extinguish with standard food plant protocols
Protective Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear when fighting a large fire involving storage areas
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide and other standard organic combustion byproducts possible during intense burning

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear suitable dust mask and gloves to avoid inhalation and direct skin contact
Clean-up Methods: Sweep up material mechanically, avoid water for dry cleanup, dispose of in closed containers
Environmental Precautions: Prevent significant quantities from entering drains or water courses; material is biodegradable and low environmental risk

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize creation of airborne dust; use tools or handling methods that reduce mechanical breakdown of flakes or granules
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated conditions, away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, excessive moisture
Electrical Precautions: Avoid sources of static electricity in areas where dust can accumulate

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Control Parameters: No established occupational exposure limits for dehydrated bell pepper dust
Engineering Controls: Ensure local exhaust ventilation in processing or mixing zones
Personal Protection: Use certified dust-resistant masks, safety goggles for bulk handling, gloves if prolonged contact expected
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face before eating or drinking, remove contaminated clothing promptly

9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Green, yellow-green, or olive flakes, granules, or fine powder
Odor: Slightly sweet vegetable aroma, no strong or offensive smells
pH: Near neutral in solution, typically 5.5-7.5
Melting Point: Not applicable for plant material
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not determined for dried vegetables
Solubility: Not soluble in water, absorbs moisture and swells
Bulk Density: Ranges from 0.3-0.6 g/cm3 for most commercial samples
Vapor Pressure: Not volatile

10. Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Stability on Exposure: Sensitivity to excess moisture; may degrade if exposed to strong oxidizing agents or high humidity for extended periods
Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous polymerization or decomposition under intended food use
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, ignition sources in dusty environments, prolonged exposure to moisture

11. Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Considered non-toxic for oral consumption; no known acute health effects in normal quantities
Chronic Toxicity: No data indicating long-term hazards from reasonable food use
Irritation: Prolonged exposure to dust may lead to minor eye, skin, or respiratory irritations, especially in those with sensitivities
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or EU sources
Allergic Reactions: Rare, but individuals allergic to bell peppers may develop mild symptoms

12. Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Ingredients derived from natural plant sources, negligible risk to aquatic or terrestrial life
Biodegradability: Rapidly biodegradable under standard environmental conditions
Bioaccumulation: Unlikely, due to organic and degradable components
Mobility: Tends to remain in soil or be consumed by organisms; does not leach significantly or persist

13. Disposal Considerations

Waste Treatment: Dispose of with regular food or organic waste streams
Regulatory Disposal: Follow local, state, or national waste regulations for disposal of organic non-hazardous waste
Recycling: Composting is possible and preferred for bulk waste quantities
Special Considerations: Avoid releases of dusty material to prevent nuisance conditions in waste handling facilities
