Helloooooooooo,
Im trying to find a MSDS for coffee thats not a joke, I don't have chemwatch and all the internest searches I do come up with a joke MSDS, ( quite funny but not very useful ) can anyone help?
cheers

who is the manufacturer?
i went straight to them they are very happy to help out.

Chemwatch has lots of MSDS for coffee. I'm attaching one for instant coffee.

Thanks for you help!

Just asking, but if it is a food, why do you have to have an MSDS?

hi there
did you read the 'risk' and saftey' sections of that MSDS.
'breath in the dust........'
'exposure to the skin.......'
they have to be kidding!
ha ha ha

and the first aid section....
'If swallwed have a glass of water'
ha ha ha ha

When they have MSDS such as these it devalues the information on real MSDS's. We know these things aren't true for coffee, does it mean that such warnings on other chemicals aren't to be taken seriously also????!!!!

Just read the MSDS and says"non hazardous ,non dangerous goods" and on the same page it has hazard mode "Moderate"
Go figger:?

Guess that's the trouble with a generic MSDS - what applies in an instant coffee factory doesn't apply in a kitchen. Same goes for flour really.

My favourite part was the bit about if aspirated through the nosal passages, encourage victim to blow the nose. Coffee coloured boogers yay!

The joke one that kept coming up when searching with google can be found here, not real different to the seriouse one really.

Did you read the comments on some of the rediculous MSDSs out there when it was talked about on here a little while back? They are in this thread

How can you take an MSDS on water seriously when it says "CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
â–  Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models); nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course."?

or

"â–  Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting."
