PPE:
Respiratory protection Respiratory protection should be worn when workplace exposures exceed
exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable
exposure limits or guidelines, use a NIOSH approved respirator where
there is a potential for adverse effects where indicated or required by the
exposure assessment. Selection of particular respirators will depend on the

16. OTHER INFORMATION
WARNING: This product contains [here insert particular diacetyl substitute] This product contains butter flavoring, which
may contain diacetyl, 2,3 - pentanedione, 2,3 - hexanedione, 2,3 -heptanedione, and other diketones and flavoring
chemicals. NIOSH has stated in its HHE Report dated November 2009, that "The toxicology of diacetyl substitutes is only
6
now being studied. Until more is known about 2,3-Pentanedione and other alpha-diketone compounds, they should not
be assumed to be safe. Management should continue to limit exposures to flavorings through a combination of
engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection. Workers should report symptoms to their personal
physician and to a designated individual at the workplace." (NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation Report- HETA 2008-0230-
3096). With respect to signs and symptoms of flavoring-related fixed airways obstruction, OSHA has stated: "The initial
signs and symptoms of flavoring-related fixed airways obstruction, including bronchiolitis obliterans, may be subtle. The
signs and symptoms seen in affected workers include cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath with exertion. Signs and
symptoms generally do not improve on weekends or vacations. Signs and symptoms may have a gradual onset, but in
some cases severe signs and symptoms have occurred suddenly with rapid progression of lung disease. 11 Determining
appropriate respiratory protection will depend on the specific conditions under which the flavorings are used. For further
guidance, see the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134, and the OSHA publication Occupational
Exposure to Flavoring Substances: Health Effects and Hazard Control (SHIB 10-14- 10).
