Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained in this study the median lethal dose value (LD50) of Remazol Goldorange 3G was calculated by probit analysis for the female Wistar rat to be 8377 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:
Remazol Goldorange 3G was tested for acute toxic effects by oral administration in female Wistar rats only, as male animals did not show a higher sensitivity to the test substance. Lethality occurred up to day 3 of the study at 8000, 10000, and 12500 mg/kg bw. The animals showed prone position and disorders of balance. Development of body weight was not impaired in the surviving animals. The test substance was excreted with feces and urine. Necropsy of the deceased animals revealed orange discolouration of organs and connective tissue. The acute oral toxicity testing of Remazol Goldorange 3G in the female Wistar rat yielded a median lethal dose (LD50) of 8377 mg/kg body weight. The classification by “Handbook of Toxicology” describes the test dye as non toxic
