Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The end point for the genetic toxicity test was found to be negative (with and without) when treated with Ponceau SX (4548-53-2).
Executive summary:

Genetic toxicity test was performed by Ponceau SX onS typhimurium(Strain TA100, TA98, TA97 and TA 1535).Initial testing was in strain without activation and with 30% rat and hamster S-9. If a positive response was obtained in one or both strains, only the positive test condition was repeated. Each chemical was initially tested in the preincubation test at half-log dose intervals up to a dose that elicited toxicity, or to a dose immediately below one that was toxic in the preliminary toxicity procedure.The test chemical (0.05 ml), overnight culture of Salmonella (0.10 ml at CWR and MIC, and 0.05 ml at SRI), and S-9 mix or buffer (0.50 ml), were incubated at 37C, without shaking, for 20 min.At least five doses of each chemical were tested in triplicate, and repeat experiments were performed at least one week following the initial trial.A maximum of 0.05 ml solvent was added to each plate.Different concentrations used are 0, 1, 3.10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3333, 10000, µg/plates.X  A chemical was judged questionable (?) if the results of individual trials were not reproducible, if increases in his+revertants did not meet the criteria for a “+W” response, or if only single doses produced increases in his+revertants in repeat trials. Chemicals were judged nonmutagenic (-) if they did not meet the criteria for a mutagenic or questionable response. No mutagenic effect were observed .From the experiment on Salmonella typhimurium Strain TA100, TA98, TA97 and TA 1535)it was concluded that thePonceau SX(CAS No 4548-53-2) was genetically non-toxic chemical with and without activation.
