Other Impurities: Below regulatory reporting thresholds; information provided by batch analysis on supplier certificate
Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with water for 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids; seek medical care for persistent irritation
Skin Contact: Wash gently with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; consult physician for persistent rash
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; seek attention for persistent cough or difficulty breathing
Ingestion: Drink water; observe for gastrointestinal upset; consult medical professional if symptoms develop
Notes for Medical Personnel: Provide symptomatic and supportive treatment
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, foam
Hazardous Decomposition: Combustion may generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and minor organic fumes
Firefighting Instructions: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus; avoid inhaling smoke or powder particles
Flash Point: Not flammable in typical storage and use concentrations
Special Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures with air only when highly concentrated and dried; avoid generating dust clouds
Personal Precautions: Wear disposable gloves, dust mask, and eye protection to prevent exposure
Environmental Precautions: Prevent run-off to public waterways or drains in bulk accidental releases
Spill Cleanup Methods: Sweep up carefully to avoid dust; dispose in accordance with local waste regulations; rinse area with plenty of water to eliminate residue
Disposal of Spills: Collect waste in labeled containers for approved disposal
Handling: Use local exhaust ventilation in mixing or powder handling zones; minimize dust by handling gently; keep container closed
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place; protect from direct sunlight and moisture
Conditions to Avoid: High temperature, humid air, exposure to oxidizing agents, and contact with incompatible food additives
Safe Packaging Materials: Food-grade plastic or lined drums, resealable foil bags
Occupational Limits: No established exposure limit for radish red as a food additive; treat as nuisance dust (10 mg/m³ for total particulates OSHA PEL)
Engineering Controls: Implement adequate ventilation or dust extraction systems; provide eyewash stations in work areas
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask, safety goggles, nitrile or latex gloves, long-sleeved laboratory coat
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly before eating or drinking

Reactivity: Sensitive to strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents
Thermal Decomposition: Releases carbon oxides and organic vapors
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, humidity, intense light, contact with metals or oxidants
Incompatible Materials: Alkalis, oxidizers, reactive metals (iron filings, for example)
Acute Toxicity: No toxicity observed at food use levels; high oral doses (above 2000 mg/kg) in animal studies not lethal
Skin and Eye Irritation: Mild, reversible irritation possible from dust contact
Respiratory Symptoms: Transient nose or throat irritation from dust inhalation; no chronic effects documented
Allergenicity: Rare allergies; avoid contact for known radish allergies
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: No cancer or reproductive health effects linked to dietary exposure at regulatory levels
Ecotoxicity: Low; anthocyanins degrade quickly in the environment
Aquatic Impact: Minimal risk due to rapid breakdown in surface water; not persistent or bioaccumulative
Soil Mobility: Moderate mobility; degrades to harmless organics
Biodegradability: Rapid, complete in soil and water
Hazardous to Fish or Wildlife: Not documented at concentrations used in food production or incidental environmental exposure
Waste Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and national regulations; small amounts may enter general refuse
Methods of Disposal: Landfill or approved incineration; avoid release to surface water
