Product Name: Soy Protein Concentrate
Synonyms: SPC, Concentrated Soy Protein
Chemical Family: Plant-derived protein
Intended Use: Food ingredient, animal feed ingredient, dietary supplement
Manufacturer: Listed provider name, address, and emergency phone contact
Classification: Non-hazardous substance; not classified as dangerous according to GHS
Label Elements: No hazard symbol or signal word required
Health Hazards: Inhalation may cause mild respiratory irritation in sensitive individuals; dust exposure may aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma
Environmental Hazards: Not considered hazardous to aquatic or terrestrial environments
Precautionary Statements: Avoid generating dust; maintain good industrial hygiene practices
Chemical Name: Soy Protein Concentrate
CAS Number: 91082-21-6
Content: 65-72% protein (w/w), remainder is moisture, fiber, carbohydrates, trace minerals
Impurities: Contains negligible anti-nutritional factors and low levels of isoflavones
Additives: No hazardous additives; may contain trace food-grade processing aids depending on manufacturing process
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; seek medical attention if irritation persists or severe coughing occurs
Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water; seek medical help if persistent rash or irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; persistent discomfort warrants medical advice
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly; product is edible but excessive ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset such as bloating; consult healthcare provider if symptoms are severe
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray
Specific Fire Hazards: As with many organic powders, airborne dust may form explosive mixtures with air under certain conditions; avoid creating dust clouds
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Products of Combustion: Carbon oxides (CO, CO2), nitrogen oxides, incomplete combustion may yield minor organic compounds
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Cool containers with water; avoid inhaling smoke and combustion gases
Personal Precautions: Keep unprotected persons away from spill area; use respiratory protection in cases of significant dust generation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release of large amounts into waterways to avoid excessive organic load
Methods for Clean-Up: Use vacuum suction for large spills or sweep up, taking care to minimize dust; place material in appropriate disposal containers; wash area with water if feasible
Safe Handling Practices: Avoid creating dust; handle in well-ventilated areas; maintain good housekeeping to reduce dust accumulation
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from strong oxidizers and sources of ignition
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents; avoid contact with moisture to preserve product quality
Packaging Materials: Use food-grade containers; keep tightly closed when not in use to protect from humidity and pests
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to control airborne dust levels in processing and transfer areas
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear dust masks or particulate respirators in cases of elevated dust; use safety goggles and gloves as needed
Occupational Exposure Limits: OSHA Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR): 15 mg/m³ (total dust), 5 mg/m³ (respirable fraction)
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face before eating or drinking; avoid hand-to-mouth contact in work areas
Appearance: Light cream to tan-colored fine powder
Odor: Mild, bland, slightly bean-like aroma
pH (10% Solution): 6.0 - 7.5
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Melting Point: Not determined; decomposes on heating
Solubility in Water: Dispersible but not fully soluble; forms slurry or suspension
Bulk Density: 0.4 – 0.6 g/cm³
Flash Point: Not relevant at ambient conditions; dust can ignite at high temperatures
Reactivity: Stable under normal use and storage
Chemical Stability: Retains integrity when kept dry and sealed; moisture exposure may result in caking or microbial spoilage
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Dust/air mixture can become explosive above certain concentrations and in presence of ignition source
Conditions to Avoid: Excess humidity, elevated temperature, open flames
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids and oxidizers can degrade product or create hazardous conditions
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition yields CO, CO2, and trace volatile organics
Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity; no known poisoning cases
Inhalation: Dust may cause short-term discomfort in exposed workers
Skin Contact: May rarely cause irritation in sensitive individuals; not a sensitizer for most people
Eye Contact: Dust may cause irritation
Chronic Effects: No evidence of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or teratogenicity in available literature
Allergen Information: Contains soy protein, a recognized food allergen for susceptible individuals; occupational asthma possible in rare cases
Ecotoxicity: Low hazard profile; rapidly biodegradable; excessive amounts might promote oxygen demand in surface waters
Mobility in Soil: Organic material; not expected to travel far from point of release; readily broken down by microbes
Persistence/Degradability: Highly biodegradable
Bioaccumulation Potential: Does not bioaccumulate
Aquatic Toxicity: Temporary increase in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) if released in bulk to waterways; unlikely to be acutely toxic to aquatic life
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose as non-hazardous organic waste; composting or incineration preferred where permitted
Container Disposal: Clean and reuse or recycle packaging where possible; otherwise dispose according to local regulations
Special Considerations: Prevent product runoff into drains, surface water, or soil in large quantities
UN Number: Not regulated
Proper Shipping Name: Not classified as hazardous
Hazard Class: Not applicable
Packing Group: Not applicable
Environmental Hazards: None identified
Transport Precautions: Protect from moisture during transit; ensure containers remain sealed to prevent spillage and contamination
FDA: Recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for intended food uses in the United States
EU Regulation: Permitted for food and feed use under EU regulations (EC No. 258/97 and 1831/2003)
Inventory Listings: Listed on the US TSCA, Canadian DSL, Australian AICS, and Japan ENCS inventories
Workplace Regulations: Subject to standard occupational health and safety rules for nuisance dusts
Other Regulations: Compliant with labeling requirements for soy allergens under FALCPA (US) and EU Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011
