Additional Components: Usually none, occasionally contains anticaking agent with food-grade certification
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with gentle stream of cool water for at least 15 minutes, lift eyelids to ensure thorough flushing, seek medical advice if irritation continues
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and clean water, seek attention if irritation or rash develops
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, get comfortable, monitor for symptoms such as coughing or throat irritation, seek support if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, drink water to aid dilution, do not induce vomiting, seek medical guidance if large quantities believed to be swallowed
Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor for allergic reaction in sensitive individuals
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use standard foam, CO2, dry powder, or water spray for surrounding fires
Specific Hazards: Saccharin itself is not readily combustible, dust may form explosive mixture with air under rare conditions
Hazardous Combustion Products: May emit sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, sodium oxides, carbon oxides when heated to decomposition
Advice for Firefighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus, avoid inhaling combustion fumes
Special Protective Equipment: Impermeable gloves, chemical splash goggles
Personal Precautions: Avoid creating dust, provide ventilation, use eye protection and gloves when cleaning up
Spill Containment: Sweep up or vacuum material to avoid dust dispersal, place in labelled containers for proper disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, soil, or drains, avoid contamination of natural water sources
Cleanup Methods: Use non-sparking tools, collect spilled material in containers for reuse or disposal, ventilate area after cleanup
Precautions for Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation, avoid contact with eyes and skin, use local exhaust when necessary
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture and incompatible materials, keep tightly closed in original container
Incompatible Materials: Avoid strong oxidizers, acids, and bases, store separate from incompatible substances
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, do not eat or drink during handling, follow food safety protocols if used in food manufacturing
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to minimize dust inhalation
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limit for saccharin, follow standard dust exposure limits (OSHA PEL, ACGIH TLV for nuisance dust)
Personal Protective Equipment:
- Eyes: Safety glasses with side shields
- Skin: Protective gloves recommended for prolonged contact

Acute Toxicity: Rat oral LD50 above 17,000 mg/kg, not considered acutely toxic at common exposure levels
Skin Irritation: Not classified as a skin irritant, rare allergic contact dermatitis reported
Eye Irritation: Mild irritation possible with direct exposure
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause coughing or mild respiratory irritation
Sensitization: Rare cases of sensitivity, more common in workers with chronic exposure
Chronic Toxicity: No definitive evidence of carcinogenicity in humans, classified as generally recognized as safe for human use in controlled amounts by international agencies
Other Effects: Large quantities may disrupt gut microflora, not recommended for those with specific sulfa drug allergies
Ecotoxicity: Saccharin demonstrates low toxicity to fish and aquatic invertebrates at concentrations found in wastewater
