Constituent 1
Results and discussion
- Results:
- Overall, in regular health examinations conducted with the plant personnel by an occupational physician, there was no evidence of any negative impact on the staff handling sorbic acid and potassium sorbate
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Overall, in regular health examinations conducted with the plant personnel by an occupational physician, there was no evidence of any negative impact on the staff handling sorbic acid and potassium sorbate.
The extrapolation from sorbic acid to potassium sorbate or vice versa is considered not to be restricted in any way, since the determinant of potential toxicity is on the "sorbate" anion.
