Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
FD & C Yellow No. 6, which is rapidly and almost completely metabolised in the gut inter alia to sulphanilic acid, i.e. the registered substance, gave a negative result in both rat and mouse bone marrow micronucleus tests after a single oral dose of up to 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

FD & C Yellow No. 6, which is rapidly and almost completely metabolised in the gut inter alia to sulphanilic acid, i.e. the registered substance, gave a negative result in both rat and mouse bone marrow micronucleus tests after a single oral dose of up to 2000 mg/kg.
