Product Name: Dehydrated Potato
Synonyms: Dried potato flakes, Potato granules, Potato powder
Manufacturer: Refer to packaging or supplier documentation
Recommended Use: Food additive, Food ingredient for soups, bakery, snack foods
Supplier Contact: Provided on package label or purchase documents
Emergency Phone Number: Available through local health services or poison control
Physical Hazards: Fine powder may create dust clouds; dust can explode in rare, confined conditions
Health Hazards: Mild respiratory irritation possible from inhaling dust; rarely, individuals may experience allergy due to natural potato proteins
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous by major regulatory agencies
Signal Word: None
Pictogram: None required
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust; maintain adequate ventilation; wash exposed skin before eating or drinking
Chemical Name: Potato (Solanum tuberosum) - dehydrated
Common Name: Dehydrated Potato
Content: 100% potato, processed and dried
CAS Number: Not assigned for food substances
Potential Traces: Sulfites (as preservative in some products), sodium acid pyrophosphate (color retention), ascorbic acid (antioxidant management)
Inhalation: Move to fresh air; rinse mouth if coughing or irritation develops; medical attention if breathing remains difficult
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present; seek medical help if irritation continues
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water; seek help if irritation or redness develops
Ingestion: Unlikely to cause harm in normal amounts; drink water if discomfort or choking occurs; for large accidental ingestion, monitor for allergic response or consult a healthcare provider
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, CO2, foams
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water jets that may spread powdered material
Specific Hazards: Fine powder dispersed in air can ignite under certain conditions; may produce minor amounts of smoke and carbon compounds if burnt
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use standard protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Avoid creating dust clouds; isolate area and ventilate after extinguishing; post-fire cleanup with caution to prevent dust dispersion
Personal Precautions: Minimize breathing dust, wear dust mask
Protective Equipment: Safety glasses, gloves recommended for sensitive skin or large spills
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate non-essential personnel during large spills with significant dust
Methods for Cleanup: Collect spilled powder with broom or industrial vacuum; avoid sweeping dry to reduce airborne dust; wash area with water after removal
Environmental Precautions: Dehydrated potato poses little risk to the environment in small volumes; large quantities can increase organic load in water, best to prevent runoff to sewers or natural bodies of water
Safe Handling: Use with adequate ventilation; limit dust by working gently with the powder; avoid open flames during processing where dust clouds form
Personal Hygiene: Wash hands before eating, avoid hand-to-mouth contact
Storage Requirements: Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated location; keep containers sealed tightly to prevent moisture uptake
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers; minimize proximity to heat or ignition sources in dusty environments
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation at points of dust generation; dust collection systems in industrial sites
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust respirator or N95 mask in production or during heavy handling
Eye Protection: Safety goggles in settings where dust is excessive
Skin Protection: Gloves for those with sensitive skin
Work Practices: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in processing zones; maintain good housekeeping to avoid accumulation of fine dust
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for dehydrated potato; limit dust below levels set for nuisance particulates (e.g., OSHA PEL: 15 mg/m³ total dust)
Appearance: Light yellow to pale cream powder, granule, or flake
Odor: Mild, earthy, typical of cooked potato
Odor Threshold: No significant threshold
pH: 5.0–7.0 in 10% solution
Melting Point / Freezing Point: Not applicable
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not determined; organic dust may present combustible risk
Evaporation Rate: Not relevant
Flammability: Dust under specific conditions can ignite
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Vapor Density: Not relevant

Partition Coefficient: Not relevant
Auto-ignition Temperature: Approx. 400°C (powder cloud)
Decomposition Temperature: Browning and decomposition above 180°C
Viscosity: Not applicable
Chemical Stability: Stable when stored dry, away from light and oxygen
Reactivity: Not reactive in normal conditions
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur
Conditions to Avoid: Humidity, direct sunlight, excess heat, ignition sources for dust
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers may trigger combustion in rare scenarios
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burnt product produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possible trace hydrocarbons
Acute Toxicity: Non-toxic as a food product; overwhelming ingestion could cause digestive upset
Chronic Effects: No evidence for chronic toxicity from food-grade dehydrated potato
Inhalation: High dust exposure may occasionally trigger mild respiratory irritation
Skin Contact: Rare irritation, most often in those sensitive to potato proteins
Eye Contact: Dust may cause temporary redness
Sensitization: Allergic reactions possible for those with potato allergy
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, ACGIH, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: No known genetic risks
Reproductive Toxicity: No known reproductive health impacts
Eco-toxicity: Biodegradable plant matter; rapid breakdown in soil or compost
Aquatic Toxicity: Large discharges may increase oxygen demand in water, possibly stressing aquatic systems
Persistence and Degradability: Quickly decomposes by natural microbes
Bioaccumulation: Not likely to accumulate in organisms
Mobility in Soil: Absorbed into organic matter, no significant transport
Other Adverse Effects: None anticipated at normal use; industrial spills warrant basic containment
Waste Disposal: Can be disposed with general waste in small quantities; avoid bulk release to water systems
Recycling: Composting recommended whenever possible
Contaminated Packaging: Clean and recycle where facilities permit; dispose as regular industrial waste
Local Regulations: Observe all local, state, and national guidelines for organic and food processing waste
UN Number: Not regulated
Shipping Name: Not classified as dangerous goods for transport
Hazard Class: Non-hazardous
