Impurities: Low risk; food-grade quality standards apply
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air; support breathing if discomfort occurs; seek medical advice for prolonged symptoms
Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water to remove powder residue
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes, lifting eyelids until irritation subsides; consult medical professional if needed
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; product intended for consumption
Important Symptoms: Eye or respiratory tract irritation due to dust; no known long-term effects from direct exposure
Medical Attention, Special Treatment: Rarely required unless allergic response or breathing difficulty persists
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, CO2
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jets can disperse powder
Specific Hazards: Fine powder may create combustible dust under extreme conditions; possible risk in confined or unventilated areas
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective gear
Decomposition Products: Burning produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and potentially irritating smoke
Special Instructions: Remove containers from fire area if safe; cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture
Personal Precautions: Minimize dust generation; avoid inhaling airborne powder; use suitable protective gear
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff to storm drains or open waterways during major spills, though product poses minimal risk
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep or vacuum up spilled powder, place in airtight containers for reuse or disposal; clean residue with water
Disposal: Follow local regulations; composting possible due to biodegradable nature; use regular waste systems for small amounts
Handling: Avoid creating airborne dust; ensure good ventilation in bulk handling areas; limit exposure to open air or humidity
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after handling; keep containers sealed except during use
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place; keep away from direct sunlight and moisture; use food-grade packaging
Compatibility: Store away from strong oxidizers to avoid unwanted reactions
Shelf Life: Follow supplier indications; typically up to 12–24 months in sealed containers
Exposure Limits: No official exposure limits set for food-grade tomato powder
Engineering Controls: Exhaust ventilation or local extraction in processing facilities; minimize airborne particulates
Personal Protection—Respiratory: Dust mask or respirator for workers handling large volumes
Personal Protection—Skin: Regular work clothing; gloves for individuals prone to sensitivities
Personal Protection—Eye: Safety goggles in areas with heavy dust
Hygiene Measures: Prompt clean-up of spills to reduce slip or dust hazards
