Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

During the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induced gene mutations by base-pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used.


Therefore, MTF is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
