Description of key information
In a subchronic toxicity study Cashew Nutshell Extract, Decarboxylated, Distilled (Distilled Grade) was administered to 5 Sprague-Dawley rats/sex/dose via gavage at dose levels of 0, 15, 150, or 1000 mg/kg bw/day).
Systemic changes in the lungs, mesenteric lymph node, stomach and duodenum occurred at the highest dose. A NOAEL of 150 mg/kg bw/day has been identified for systemic toxicity. A NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day has been identified for reproductive parameters.
This repeat dose/reproductive toxicity screening study in the rat is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for a subchronic oral study OECD 422 in rats.

Additional information
A document which justifies the read–across from Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) Nutshell Extract, Decarboxylated, Distilled (Distilled Grade) and Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) Nutshell Extract, Decarboxylated, Distillation Residue (Distillation Residue Grade) to Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) Nutshell Extract, Decarboxylated (Technical Grade) is attached.
Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects (target organ) digestive: duodenum; digestive: stomach; glandular: other; respiratory: lung
Justification for classification or non-classification
In an oral repeat dose study, the lowest no adverse effect level (NOAEL) associated with a reproducible effect is 150 mg/kg bw/day.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
