Hazard Classification: Substance generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for intended use
GHS Signal Word: Not classified
Principal Hazards: Possible mild irritation to eyes and respiratory tract from dust
Potential Health Effects: Inhalation: slight irritation, Skin Contact: low risk, Eye Contact: possible discomfort, Ingestion: not considered hazardous in normal quantities
HMIS Rating: Health: 1, Flammability: 1, Reactivity: 0
Main Component: Sodium caseinate (protein, min. 90%)
Other Ingredients: Minor salts of calcium, potassium, magnesium; trace water; negligible lactose and fat
Impurities: Manufacturing residue in trace amounts, if present, is food grade
Allergens: Contains milk protein
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, rinse mouth, provide water if throat feels scratchy, seek advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Rinse with water; soap can be used for removal of any residue
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with water, remove contact lenses, continue flushing for several minutes if discomfort remains
Ingestion: Drink water to dilute, consult physician for larger or ill-advised intake
Guidance for Medical Personnel: Provide treatment supportive to symptoms, allergy management for sensitive individuals
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
Specific Hazards: Fine powder can disperse and cause dust explosions under certain conditions
Protective Equipment: Standard fire-fighting gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Remove product from hot zones if safe, avoid inhalation of combustion byproducts such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides
Personal Precautions: Avoid generating dust, ventilate area, use PPE such as dust masks and gloves
Environmental Precautions: Prevent uncontrolled entry to drains or waterways where large quantities could cause oxygen depletion
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up dry powder without creating airborne dust, collect in suitable container, clean remaining residue with damp cloth or vacuum equipped with HEPA filter
Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, minimize dust during transfer, practice good hygiene
Storage Conditions: Store tightly sealed in food-grade containers, keep cool and dry, avoid direct sunlight, isolate from strong oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids or oxidizing agents
Additional Guidance: Keep away from rodents and pests; monitor for spoilage or moisture ingress
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust at bulk handling points, dust extraction if available
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves for frequent handlers; N95 or equivalent for dusty environments; goggles recommended for large-scale mixing or transfer
Routine Monitoring: Airborne dust should remain below nuisance dust limits, commonly 10mg/m³ (total dust)
Protective Measures: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or contacting face; launder clothing to remove powder
Appearance: Off-white to pale cream powder
Odor: Mild, characteristic dairy or bland odor
pH (1% Solution): Typically 6.0–7.5
Solubility: Dispersible in cold water, better solubility in warm water
Melting Point: Not applicable; may brown or decompose above 200°C
Bulk Density: 0.3–0.5 g/cm³
Other Properties: Hygroscopic; forms gel in water at higher concentrations
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen (if burned)
Incompatibility: Unstable with strong acids, strong oxidizers
Polymerization: Not known to occur
Reactivity: Not considered reactive under normal handling conditions
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat) >5000 mg/kg, demonstrating low toxicity
Chronic Effects: None in normal dietary use; possible allergic reactions in milk-allergic individuals
Potential Irritation: Short-term irritation risk to eyes and respiratory tract from dust, low risk to skin
Sensitization: May trigger reaction in those with milk protein sensitivity
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: Not classified as a mutagen or carcinogen
Other Effects: No special effects expected under normal handling
Biodegradability: Readily biodegradable, breakdown by soil and water bacteria
Aquatic Toxicity: Not expected to be hazardous to aquatic systems at expected concentrations
Bioaccumulation: No known potential for bioaccumulation
Environmental Fate: Rapid decomposition in natural environments
Other Concerns: Discharges in very large volume may contribute to nutrient enrichment and oxygen depletion
Waste Treatment Methods: Landfill or incinerate in accordance with local regulations if contaminated or unusable
Product: Dispose as ordinary food waste if uncontaminated
Packaging: Rinse and recycle where appropriate, or dispose of as per local rules
Special Considerations: Avoid dust dispersion in disposal areas; minimize release to water bodies
UN Number: Not regulated
Proper Shipping Name: Sodium caseinate, food grade powder
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified as hazardous material
Packing Group: Not assigned
Special Precautions: Protect from moisture; avoid large accumulations of dust during bulk transport
International Standards: Approved as a food additive by Codex Alimentarius, EU, and FDA
OSHA: Treated as food-grade non-hazardous substance
SARA Title III: Not listed
California Proposition 65: No components listed
Other Regulations: Compliant with applicable food and feed regulations in major jurisdictions; labeling must declare milk protein allergen
