Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No adverse effects were observed at 500 mg/kg/day.

NOEL: 500 mg/kg/day in male and female rats
Executive summary:

10 mixed race albino rats per sex received 500 mg/kg bw Remazolschwarz B 14-times in 21 days orally by gavage, followed by a 3-day post-observation time. There were no adverse effects observed in clinical signs, body weight development, urinalysis, hematology, marco- and microscopic evaluation. The test item was excreted via feces and urine.

The No Observed Effect Level is 500 mg/kg bw/day.
