The syrup coke is made from is corrossive enough that it is treated as a hazzardous material per the IBC.
Actual syrup?
I know what you are getting at, citric acid in the syrup.
At a certain
concentration, and quanity (tanker) its dangerous , but the syrup with the citric acid in the solution cannot possibly be classified as a hazardous material, if so please show me where I can find this and have a good laugh.
If that is true, anything that has an ingredient that by itself is dangerous would be a HM. Example: Soap has some sodium hydroxide (lye) in it.
I agree that a 15000 gallon tank car of syrup would probably have enough acid to be placarded based on volume or maybe a warehouse storage facility, but those bags of syrup sitting in a restaurant are not.
There are those that could argue, strongly, that coke would meet ,OSHA's definition of a hazardous material includes......... any substance or chemical which is a "health hazard"......29CFR1910.120
But I digress.
