Which of the following is NOT considered a hazardous material?

Pasta is not considered a hazardous material because it does not possess any of the characteristics that define hazardous materials according to federal regulations. Hazardous materials typically include substances that can pose a risk to health, safety, or the environment, such as flammable liquids, corrosive substances, or toxic materials.

In contrast, petroleum products, household cleaning products, and explosive devices all contain properties that can be harmful or dangerous under certain conditions. Petroleum can be flammable and toxic; household cleaning products often contain chemicals that can be corrosive or harmful if ingested or inhaled; and explosive devices are inherently dangerous as they can cause explosions under specific circumstances. These characteristics categorize them as hazardous materials, while pasta, being a common food item, doesn't fall into these risk categories.
