Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
ambiguous without metabolic activation

Under the test conditions, ‘Fatty acids, C8-18 and C18-unsatd.’ was found to be negative in a Salmonella typhimurium bacteria reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

‘Fatty acids, C8-18 and C18-unsatd.’ was tested for mutagenic activity in the bacterial gene mutation assay with Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 and TA 100. The test was conducted on agar plates in the absence or presence of S-9 mix. Suspensions of the test material were freshly prepared in water with Tween 80 before use at concentrations of 4, 20, 100, 500 and 2,500 µg/plate.

Under the test conditions, ‘Fatty acids, C8-18 and C18-unsatd.’ was found to be negative.
