Hazard Statements: May cause mild irritation in eyes and skin in sensitive individuals, dust may cause mechanical respiratory tract irritation
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust, wash hands after handling, use in well-ventilated locations
Other Hazards: Slight risk of allergic response in individuals with Allium sensitivity, fine powders can contribute to dust explosions under rare circumstances
Chemical Name: Dehydrated Onion
Botanical Name: Allium cepa L.
CAS Number: 8008-99-9
EC Number: 232-366-2
Purity: 100% dried onion, no added preservatives or additives in standard product
Allergen Information: Contains natural sulfur compounds typical for onions
Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air, seek medical advice in case of persistent respiratory symptoms such as coughing or wheezing
Skin Contact: Wash affected skin with water and mild soap, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical assessment for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, obtain medical attention if discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, drink water to dilute if large amounts are swallowed, obtain professional medical advice for persistent digestive symptoms, rare allergy-related reactions require urgent care
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, CO2, dry chemical, or foam as appropriate for surrounding fire type
Specific Hazards: Fine powders form with air can create combustible dust/air mixtures; burning can produce irritating sulfur oxides and organic vapors
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus, protective garments against smoke, vapors, and particulates
Specific Methods: Stop product release if safe, cool containers exposed to flames with water fog, keep personnel away from dust clouds
Personal Precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation, avoid creating airborne dust, wear eye and respiratory protection if dust forms
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material spill into waterways or drains due to possible oxygen depletion from decaying biological matter
Collection Methods: Sweep or vacuum carefully to avoid dust generation, collect residue in appropriate sealed containers, wash spill surface with water to avoid slip hazard
Disposal: Dispose of spill waste in line with local, state, and federal regulations, composting as organic waste often acceptable if uncontaminated
Safe Handling: Handle with clean, dry hands, avoid inhalation of dust, minimize raising airborne powder, use dust extraction where necessary
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture absorption and caking
Incompatible Materials: Avoid proximity to strong oxidizers, acids
Other Precautions: Keep away from sources of ignition, do not smoke around storage areas, avoid stacking heavy containers to prevent collapse
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established safety limits for dehydrated onion, treat as nuisance particulates for airborne dust (generally 10 mg/m3 TWA for total dust as set by OSHA)
Ventilation: Install general room ventilation or local exhaust for bulk processing
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved dust masks or respirators in dusty environments
Eye Protection: Use safety goggles to prevent accidental powder contact
Skin Protection: Use gloves for prolonged handling or known allergic risk
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, avoid rubbing face or eyes during use
Appearance: Off-white to pale yellow granules, flakes, or powder

Auto-ignition Temperature: Not established
Decomposition Temperature: Degrades under direct flame or high heat releasing sulfurous vapors
Viscosity: Not applicable
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal handling and storage at ambient temperatures
Reactivity: No dangerous reactions with common materials
Thermal Decomposition: Strong heating can decompose product, forming sulfur oxides and organic volatiles
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, alkalis, mineral acids can trigger reaction
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid excess moisture, stagnation, open flames, heat sources
Acute Toxicity: No data indicating toxic levels for ingestion within normal food use
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation (dust), oral, ocular, dermal
Effects: Dust can cause irritation to nose, throat, lungs in sensitive individuals; rare mild skin or eye irritation; allergic reactions possible in individuals with onion or allium family sensitivity
Chronic Exposure: No known long-term hazards associated with typical use
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: Lacks evidence for mutagenic effect
Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence of reproductive or developmental risk
Sensitization: Possible for persons allergic to Allium genus
Ecotoxicity: Not known to cause environmental harm in reasonable quantities; large spills can cause oxygen depletion in bodies of water due to decomposing organic material
Aquatic Toxicity: Data lacking, considered low risk due to food-use nature
Persistence and Degradation: Readily biodegradable in soil and water
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low, based on organic and nutritional breakdown
Mobility in Soil: Moderate, can leach into water if not contained
Other Adverse Effects: Excess unloading into water bodies can elevate biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) impacting aquatic life indirectly
Waste Treatment Methods: Compost or dispose of as biodegradable organic waste; for contaminated batches, follow local solid waste procedures
Unused Product: Can be landfilled as non-hazardous, food-grade solid waste
Packaging: Recycle or dispose of according to official procedures
