Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be > 500 mg/kg when rats were treated with rhodamine B orally.
Executive summary:

In a acute oral toxicity, rats were treated with rhodamine B in the concentration of 500 mg/kg orally. No mortality observed in treated rats. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be > 500 mg/kg when rats were treated with rhodamine B orally.
