Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The substance indigo carmine is reported to be skin sensitizing to human.
- Executive summary:
The indigo carmine compound was patch tested for the allergy in the 204 (191 male and 13 female) worker from 15 Italian feed mills. 1% test substance in petrolatum was applied on back of workers using Scanpor tape (Norgesplaster,
Norway) for 48 hr. Reactions were read at 48 and 96 h according to the ICDRG scale. Indigo carmine shows positive reaction in two cases. 3 workers (workers with cutaneous complaints (contact dermatitis or pruritus sine materia)) shows positive reaction and 2 workers (workers without cutaneous complaints) shows positive reaction. Hence, the substance indigo carmine is reported to be skin sensitizing to human.
