Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 value of substance FD&C Red No. 4 is considered to be >2000 mg/kg in rat.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was conducted to evalaute the toxic nature of the test compound FD and C Red no 4 in rats. The acute oral LD50 value of substance FD&C Red No. 4 is considered to be >2000 mg/kg in rat.

As per the CLP classification, the test material does not classify as an acute oral toxicant.
