Health Hazards: May trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals; inhaling powder can irritate respiratory tract or nasal passages
Signal Word: Not classified as hazardous under GHS for standard use
Label Statements: No standard warning required; keep out of reach of asthmatics and those with allium allergy
Environmental Hazards: No adverse environmental effects identified in normal quantities
Other Hazards: Fine powder can create slip hazard on hard surfaces; improperly stored product may encourage mold growth, which poses its own risks
Main Ingredient: Dehydrated leek (Allium porrum), 100% natural
Major Components: Carbohydrates, dietary fiber, small amounts of protein, minerals, and vitamins
Additives: No artificial preservatives or colorants in pure product
Potential Impurities: Trace contaminants possible from soil, plant debris, or processing equipment
Allergenic Compounds: Contains alliin, allicin, and other sulfur-containing compounds typical of alliums
Physical Form: Slices, granules, flakes, or powder
Color/Appearance: Pale green and white, sometimes with slight yellowing due to dehydration
Inhalation: Move to fresh air if breathing becomes difficult; rinse mouth and nose with water for powder exposure
Eye Contact: Gently flush with water for several minutes; seek medical attention if irritation persists or if vision changes
Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water if irritation occurs; usually non-irritating in normal contact
Ingestion: Non-toxic in standard food quantities; seek help for allergic reactions such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing
Special Treatments: People with known allium allergies should receive prompt medical care on exposure
Chronic Exposure: No known health risks from long-term exposure at food-use levels
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None specifically excluded, though water jet can disperse loose powder
Special Hazards: Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and irritating organic vapors
Protective Equipment: Use standard gear for plant matter fires, including respirators to avoid smoke inhalation
Firefighting Instructions: Avoid product dust dispersal; smoldering can re-ignite unless fully cooled
Explosion Hazard: Large airborne volumes of powder in confined areas could create dust explosion risk
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate dust mask to avoid inhaling fine particles; use gloves if prone to skin irritation
Environmental Precautions: Sweep up thoroughly to prevent clogging of drains and avoid local water body contamination
Clean-Up Methods: Collect spilled product for composting or disposal; vacuuming reduces airborne dust
Prevention of Secondary Hazards: Address spills quickly to avoid slip hazards; wet mop residues
Large Spills: Restrict access until cleanup is complete; dispose in compliance with local guidelines
Handling: Minimize dust generation; avoid direct inhalation of dust; keep away from open flames or high heat sources
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated facility, away from direct sunlight and moisture
Packaging Materials: Airtight, food-safe containers prevent moisture absorption and spoilage
Storage Temperature: Room temperature recommended; freezing not required but may prolong shelf life
Incompatibilities: Avoid storage alongside strong-smelling chemicals; product absorbs odors easily
Special Precautions: Rotate stock regularly to maintain freshness; monitor for pest activity
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits set for food products like dehydrated leek
Ventilation: General room ventilation adequate for bulk handling; local exhaust may help in powder processing areas
Personal Protection: Suggested protective mask and goggles during large-scale powder handling
Gloves: Food-safe gloves for people with sensitive skin or allergies
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or respirator where fine powder can become airborne
Hygiene: Wash hands and exposed skin after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke in processing areas
Physical State: Solid; typically in flake, slice, granule, or powder form
Color: White to pale green
Odor: Distinctive leek or onion-like aroma
pH Value: Around neutral when rehydrated
Melting Point: Not applicable; will scorch or char before melting
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Solubility: Insoluble in oil; absorbs water and rehydrates
Flash Point: Not established, though product combusts at high temperatures
Relative Density: Varies with cut size; typically light and airy
Stability: Stable in normal conditions
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and usage; may degrade if exposed to moisture or strong light
Hazardous Reactions: No hazardous polymerization or dangerous chemical reactions in normal use
Conditions to Avoid: High humidity, heat, open flames, and intense direct sunlight
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, or substances with strong odor
Decomposition: Burns to produce carbon oxides and sulfur compounds at high temperatures
Corrosivity: None; not corrosive to metals or skin
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Acute Effects: Possible irritation to eyes, nose, or throat from fine dust; allergy risk for susceptible individuals
Chronic Effects: No evidence of toxicity from repeated intake as food
Symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, mild skin or eye redness; severe effects rare unless allergic
Carcinogenicity: Not known or reported
Mutagenicity: Not reported; product viewed as safe food additive
Teratogenicity: No known effects on animal or human development at food levels
Sensitization: Inhalation or skin contact with dried allium may trigger reactions in those with allergies
LD50: Not established for normal consumption
Ecotoxicity: Low risk due to rapid biodegradation
Persistence and Degradability: Decomposes readily in soil, compost heaps, and water
Bioaccumulation: Not expected; composed of plant fibers and simple sugars
Aquatic Toxicity: Large spills in water unlikely to cause significant harm but may encourage bacterial growth
Mobility: Not persistent; disperses easily in outdoor or indoor environments
Other Effects: No impact on ozone or global warming indicated by typical usage
Product Disposal: Composting is suitable; discard as per local authority regulations for organics
