Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 value of substance Indigocarmine is considered to be >2000 mg/kg ddY mice.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity test of Indigocarmine was carried out with ddY mice. Test substance was administered orally to group of four male mice at 2000 mg/kg dose. The acute oral LD50 value of substanceIndigo carmineis considered to be >2000 mg/kgin ddY mice.
