Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information
Not considered to be genotoxic.
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
The mutagenic potential of 'soybean oil, deodorizer distillates' can be deduced based on information available for its individual constituents. Studies conducted on glycerides, fatty acids, tocopherols and sterols, either in vitro or in vivo, indicate that these substances are not mutagenic. Moreover, predictions from the Toxtree (v.1.6) model revealed no evidence for mutagenic activity of any of the constituents.
These substances all have a long history of safe use in nutritional, cosmetic and/or industrial applications. Some (e.g. certain fatty acids and tocopherols) are GRAS listed in the United States and/or demonstrate antitumourigenic activity under certain conditions (e.g. tocopherols and squalene; see Section 5.8).
Based on the above information, the substance is not considered to qualify for mutagenicity classification according to Directive 67/548/EC or Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
