Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information
Three teratogenicity studies were available on different species (mouse, chicken, rat). Two of them were considered as validity 3 according to Klimish scale. These studies were considered as validity 3, because of the poor detail information on material and methods and results, furthermore they did not follow the recognised OECD guidelines. However, the results were similar and indicated no teratogen effects. The study on rat (Vollmuth, 1990) is also poorly described but had been evaluated by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and hence was considered as validity 2. It did not follow an OECD guideline but could be considered as teratogen study.
10 female rats per group were exposed one week before mating until 4 days post partum to 0, 125, 250, 500 mg/kg bw/day of Vanillin. Maternal toxicity had been reported with only few details: death, clinical signs and change in body weight and feed consumption. The NOAEL for maternal toxicity was consider to be 250 mg/kg bw. No effect on pups were reported and the NOEL for teratogenicity was the highest dose tested 500 mg/kg bw.
Based on the “weight of evidence” approach it can be considered that Vanillin had no teratogen properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Regarding all the available data and according to classification criteria of EC regulation 1272/2008 Vanillin should not be classified for reprotoxicity.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
