Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related

Fetal loss was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the study results, the oral administration of phytic acid to mouse by oral route (gavage) may cause maternal weight changes and fetal loss. However, the relibility of the study cannot be assessed due to inconplete information. Overall, data are deemed to be inconclusive to classify.
