Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Five male and five female Wistar rats (170-190 g) received a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of Pigment Yellow FC 26290 per gavage. The animals were observed for mortality, body weights and clinical signs through day 14. A gross necropsy was performed on animals sacrificed at the end of the 14 days observation period.

No signs of intoxication were observed after application of 2000 mg/kg bw. Body weight development of male rats was not affected. Growth of some females stagnated in the 2nd study week. No deaths occured.

None of the animals sacrificed at the end of study showed any noticable gross pathological findings.

The LD50 for male and female rats was greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight and was not exactly determined.
