Main Component: 100% dried red bell pepper flesh (Capsicum annuum)
Other Ingredients: None or trace preservatives if disclosed (usually less than 1%)
Physical Form: Flakes, granules, or fine powder produced by dehydration
Allergenic Components: None intrinsic to bell pepper, but processed in facilities with possible cross-contact
Relevant Impurities: None expected with reputable source
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air; rinse mouth and drink water if coughing
Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water; seek medical advice for ongoing irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present; consult a doctor if irritation continues
Ingestion: Generally recognized as safe if used in food, but seek medical attention for any allergic or severe response
Notes for Healthcare Providers: Symptomatic treatment; monitor for allergic reaction or respiratory distress
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry powder
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid direct water jet which can spread product
Specific Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures in air, especially in closed spaces
Special Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing when fighting large fires
Combustion Products: Typical: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, small quantities of organic acids
Advice for Firefighters: Minimize breathing dust, evacuate people from danger area
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, ventilate area
Protective Equipment: Use dust mask, gloves, eye protection
Environmental Precautions: Sweep up and prevent run-off into drains—material is biodegradable but can affect water clarity if heavily concentrated
Methods for Containment: Carefully sweep or vacuum material; avoid creating dust clouds
Methods for Cleanup: Collect spilled material in containers for disposal according to local regulations; clean residue with damp cloth
Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation, store away from heat, flame, or moisture
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before food preparation and after contact with product
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, tightly sealed container
Incompatible Materials: Store away from strong oxidizers, sources of ignition, and moisture
Bulk Storage: Use food-grade containers, check for contamination or spoilage
Engineering Controls: General ventilation both in processing and kitchen areas
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator if exposed to airborne particles, gloves for sensitive skin, goggles for bulk handlers
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits assigned for standard food use
Other Protective Measures: Change out of soiled clothing, especially after handling large quantities
Environmental Controls: Prevent large spills reaching drains by using catchment systems in manufacture
Appearance: Red-orange flakes, strips, or powder
Odor: Characteristic of bell pepper, sweet, vegetable aroma
pH: Not determined in solid state; aqueous extract can be slightly acidic
Melting/Freezing Point: Not applicable; plant cell material chars or burns above 150°C
Boiling Point/Range: Not applicable (product decomposes on heating)
Flash Point: Not applicable in normal use
Evaporation Rate: Negligible
Flammability: Dust is combustible, avoid airborne dust
Vapor Pressure: Not relevant for solid dehydrated material
Density: Bulk density varies by cut, typically 0.3–0.6 g/cm³
Solubility: Not soluble, absorbs water and rehydrates in liquids
Decomposition Temperature: Begins to char above 150°C
Viscosity: Not relevant
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Reactive Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, moisture may promote spoilage or caking
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: No hazardous polymerization expected
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to open flames, sparks, heat, and excess moisture
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal breakdown releases carbon monoxide and dioxide
Shelf Life: Sealed, cool storage can maintain quality for 12–18 months
Likelihood of Acute Effects: Low toxicity for ingestion as food; large exposure to dust may irritate eyes, nose, or throat
Skin Sensitization: No reports, but those with plant allergies may react
Chronic Toxicity: No evidence for long-term health risk under normal food use
Carcinogenicity: Not classifiable — no known carcinogens within red bell pepper
Mutagenicity: No information supporting mutagenic risk from bell pepper
Reproductive Toxicity: No scientific evidence suggesting reproductive risk
Other Health Effects: Possible allergenicity in rare cases, usually noted in individuals with plant allergies
Ecotoxicity: Material is biodegradable, not expected to be hazardous to aquatic life in normal quantities
Persistence and Degradability: Breaks down rapidly in soil and compost
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not likely – natural sugars and fiber absorb or degrade
Mobility In Soil: Low; may be mobile in water if bulk quantities enter drains
Aquatic Toxicity: No evidence of threat from small accidental releases
Other Adverse Effects: None known in ordinary supply chain and disposal
