GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

A weight of evidence approch was used on to assess the acute toxicity of the UVCB substance "Amaryllidaceae, Allium Cepa L. (fresh bulb), Rutaceae, Citrus Limon (L.) Burm. F. (fresh pulp), extract, sodium chloride".

A bibliographic search was performed on the constituents composing this substance:

-Sodium Chloride 231-598-3, 40 -50%; oral EC 50 (rat) = 3000 mg/kg

-Monosaccharides (mainly glucose EC 200-075-1 and fructose EC 200-333-3) 25 -30%

Glucose, oral EC 50 (rat) =25,800 mg/kg

Fructose,oral EC 50 (rat) =4000 mg/kg

-Disaccharides (mainly saccharose EC 200-334-9) 10 -20%

Saccharose,oral EC 50 (rat) =29,700 mg/kg

-Citric acid EC 201-069-1 , approx 1,5%; oral EC 50 (rat) = 11700mg/kg

 

As a precautionary principle, the LD50 of the substance should be based on the LD50 of NaCl which is the lowest one:
LD50 Rat oral 3000 mg/kg
