Intended Use: Food ingredient, sweetener for beverages and processed foods
Manufacturer: Please refer to product-specific supplier
Emergency Phone: Contact local Poison Control or supplier’s emergency number
Classification: Not classified as hazardous under GHS
Physical Hazards: Spilled syrup creates a slip hazard on floors and surfaces
Health Hazards: Not acutely toxic; large ingestion may cause gastrointestinal discomfort
Environmental Hazards: Low toxicity, though large spills can increase biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in waterways
Label Elements: No pictograms, signal words, or specific hazard statements required
Main routes of exposure: Ingestion, skin, eyes
Precautionary Statements: Prevent spills, avoid contact with eyes
Ingredient: Glucose and fructose mixture
CAS Number (Glucose): 50-99-7
CAS Number (Fructose): 57-48-7
Concentration (% w/w): Glucose (40-55%), Fructose (45-60%) depending on specification
Other Components: Trace amounts of water, ashes, and minerals
Impurities: None of toxicological significance for food-grade syrups
Additives: Sometimes contains preservatives like sulfur dioxide in ppm; food grade
Inhalation: Not considered a route of exposure due to physical state
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with plenty of soap and water; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 10 minutes; seek medical advice if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water if conscious; seek medical attention for large quantities or discomfort
Important symptoms/effects: Nausea or mild stomach upset if swallowed in large amount
Special treatment: Symptomatic and supportive care only
Flammability: Syrup is non-flammable but may burn at high temperatures
Suitable Extinguishing Equipment: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None known for this material
Specific Hazards in Fire: May produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide if combusted
Protective Equipment: Standard firefighting clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Cool containers exposed to fire with water
Advice to Firefighters: Avoid inhalation of combustion products
Personal Precautions: Use caution—sticky surface is a slip hazard; wear gloves for large spills
Environmental Precautions: Prevent syrup from entering drains and natural waterways
Clean-Up Methods: Absorb syrup with inert material like sand or vermiculite, scrape up mechanically, then clean area with water and detergent
Disposal: Collect recovered material in clean, suitable containers for proper disposal; do not allow syrup to contaminate soil or surface water
Other Considerations: Notify responsible authorities if significant quantities escape into environment
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, wash hands after use, clean up spills promptly to avoid sticky or slippery work surfaces
Storage: Store in tightly sealed food-grade containers, away from strong oxidizing agents; keep at 10-30°C in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place
Special Storage Requirements: Protect from moisture and direct sunlight; avoid freezing which can change viscosity or crystallize sugars
Compatibility: Incompatible with strong acids and oxidizers
Other advice: Use only with equipment and containers approved for food products; check for leaks or corrosion if using metal storage tanks
Engineering Controls: Work in well-ventilated area
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles to prevent splashes
Skin Protection: Gloves for those with sensitive skin or frequent contact
Respiratory Protection: Not required due to non-volatile nature
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, especially before eating, drinking, or smoking
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits recommended for food use
Physical State: Clear to amber, viscous liquid
Odor: Slight, sweet caramel-like scent
Color: Colorless to pale amber
pH: 3.5 – 5.5
Boiling Point: >100°C; depends on water content
Melting Point: Not applicable (liquid)
Freezing Point: -18°C, varies with concentration
Solubility: Fully soluble in water
Density: 1.3 – 1.4 g/cm³ at 20°C
Viscosity: 1,500 – 10,000 centipoise, depending on temperature and formulation
Flash Point: Not applicable (aqueous solution)
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not established for mixture
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not self-igniting
Reactivity: Stable under recommended storage and handling
Chemical Stability: Stable for at least six months under normal storage; may darken or crystallize if stored improperly
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: None under normal processing
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, direct sunlight, freezing, storage with strong acids or oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide in fire
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing or reducing agents, strong acids
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat) above 15,000 mg/kg; not acutely toxic
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Non-irritating on brief exposure; prolonged skin contact may cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals
Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause mild, temporary irritation
Chronic Toxicity: No evidence of serious health effects under normal food use
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by OSHA, IARC, or NTP
Sensitization: Not expected to cause allergic skin reaction
Other Health Effects: Regular excessive intake has been associated with metabolic disorders and obesity according to several scientific studies; safe in moderation for general population
Ecotoxicity: Not toxic to fish or aquatic organisms at realistic environmental concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable; rapidly broken down by microorganisms in soil and water
Bioaccumulative Potential: Does not bioaccumulate in organisms
Mobility in Soil: Highly mobile and water-soluble; can move through soil if dissolved in water
Other Adverse Effects: Spills into water can contribute to oxygen depletion; may cause algae bloom if large volumes reach aquatic ecosystems
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose in accordance with local, state, and national regulations; small quantities can be washed to sanitary sewer with plenty of water
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse containers thoroughly before recycling or disposal
Spill Procedures: Collect and place in appropriate waste containers for disposal; avoid release to environment
