Precautionary Statements: Avoid creating airborne dust; store away from sources of ignition. Use personal protective equipment, particularly in manufacturing environments.
Chemical Identity: 100% Dehydrated Sweet Potato tubers, processed and milled
CAS Number: Not applicable for food ingredients
Impurities or Additives: No preservatives or chemical additives included unless stated; trace sulphites may be present as a result of processing aids
Allergen Information: Naturally gluten-free; check for possible cross-contamination in processing facilities
Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air. Drink water and clear throat. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation persists or if asthmatic symptoms occur.
Skin Contact: Wash area thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek further care if irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact: Rinse eye with clean water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention if discomfort continues.
Ingestion: Product intended for consumption. Rinse mouth with water if large amount is accidentally inhaled or causes irritation. Seek help if discomfort continues or if allergic reaction is suspected.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Avoid heavy streams, as dust may become airborne.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use high-pressure water jets as dust could disperse.
Specific Hazards: Powdered product can form flammable dust-air mixtures. Risk of dust explosion in confined or unventilated regions.
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate gear. Avoid inhaling combustion gases.
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, other organic fumes under combustion
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust. Use dust masks and protective eyewear. Remove all sources of ignition.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent powders from entering drainage systems or watercourses.
Cleanup Methods: Use vacuum systems equipped with HEPA filters or wet sweeping. Pick up product mechanically and dispose in accordance with regulations. Avoid creating clouds of dust.
Handling: Keep the product in closed containers to limit dust formation. Avoid inhaling airborne product. Ground and bond containers and equipment to prevent static discharge.
Storage Conditions: Store in clean, cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, open flames, or strong oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly closed. Rotate stock to use oldest material first.
Special Considerations: Regularly inspect packaging for damage or leaks. Control humidity to deter caking and microbial growth.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for this food product, but apply general nuisance dust limits (typically 10 mg/m³ total inhalable, 3 mg/m³ respirable fraction).
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to reduce airborne dust. Minimize dust accumulation.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear dust masks in areas of risk. Use goggles or safety glasses. Wear fabric gloves to prevent skin dryness or irritation due to frequent contact. Use protective clothing if handling large quantities.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in processing or handling areas.
