Specific Hazard Statements: May cause minor respiratory irritation in dust form; skin sensitivity rare
Signal Word: None
Pictograms: None required
Precautionary Statements: Avoid inhalation of dust, prevent contact with eyes, and wear suitable protective clothing during handling in large quantities
Potential Health Effects: Inhalation may cause coughing or mild throat irritation; ingestion intended for supplemental use, excessive intake may lead to gastrointestinal upset
Environmental Hazards: No direct hazard identified, avoid bulk spillage into waterways to prevent disturbance of local ecosystems
Active Ingredient: Yeast biomass enriched with trivalent chromium
Chromium Content: Typically 0.1% to 0.5% (w/w) as chromium(III)
Other Components: Protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements native to yeast
Impurities: Minimal, meets food/feed safety requirements
Ingredient Origin: Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultivated in chromium-supplemented media
Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air; seek medical attention if breathing difficulty or irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing if irritation occurs
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; seek attention for persistent irritation
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; consult a physician if unusually large amounts are swallowed, or symptoms develop
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None known
Specific Hazards Arising: Dust in air may present explosion hazard in extreme concentrations; combustion may emit low amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing when tackling large product fires
Further Advice: Move containers from fire area if safe to do so; use water spray to cool containers
Personal Precautions: Prevent dust formation; use a dust mask if needed
Protective Equipment: Gloves, safety goggles, standard workplace coveralls
Spill Response: Scoop up spill, avoid generating dust, transfer product into waste container or reuse if clean
Environmental Measures: Do not wash large amounts of product into drains or watercourses; collect and dispose of properly
Handling: Minimize airborne dust with proper ventilation, handle only in well-ventilated areas, wash hands following handling
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in original container tightly closed, cool and dry location away from incompatible materials (strong acids, oxidizers)
Special Requirements: Avoid excess humidity and heat, protect from direct sunlight
Bulk Storage: Ensure palletized storage with clear labeling, prevent container damage
Exposure Limits: No occupatioanl exposure limits set for yeast chromium; observe general dust limits (OSHA PEL for particulate not otherwise regulated: 15 mg/m³ total, 5 mg/m³ respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation where airborne dust is generated
Personal Protection: Gloves for frequent contact, safety glasses or goggles, provide respiratory protection in poorly ventilated spaces
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, do not eat or smoke in work area

Particle Size: 50-400 microns
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: No dangerous reactions under normal use
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive humidity, high temperatures, exposure to strong acids or oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids
Hazardous Decomposition Products: None under normal conditions; may release oxides of carbon and nitrogen at high temperatures
Acute Toxicity: Low; yeast chromium at standard dosage levels considered safe for human and animal consumption
Chronic Toxicity: No evidence of cumulative toxicity at levels consistent with dietary use
Skin Irritation: Mild; possible irritation if significant contact occurs
Eye Irritation: Possible temporary discomfort or redness
Sensitization: Rare allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
Carcinogenicity: Chromium(III) in yeast-bound form not classed as carcinogenic
Mutagenicity: No evidence from available studies
Repeated Dose Toxicity: None reported in customary nutritional use
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to be hazardous in small quantities; bulk release may disrupt aquatic microbial balance
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable; yeast biomass breaks down by microbial action
Bioaccumulation: Not anticipated due to low chromium content and organic matrix binding
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility, binds to soil matrix
Other Adverse Effects: High quantities may cause oxygen depletion or nutrient enrichment in water bodies
