Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (limit test), ten rats were given a single oral dose of Fenugrec Aboslute at 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days.

One mortality was observed at day 8. In this study, the oral LD50 was higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats.

No other clinical signs were observed.

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS.
