Food additives and flavoring agents
Being approved as a food additive at low levels doesn't mean the pure substance is harmless at work. Handling concentrated flavorings and additives can still require PPE and an SDS.
92 chemicals in our database. Values are for the pure substance from public sources; check your supplier's SDS for your product.
