Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Calcium lactate fully dissociates into Ca2+ ions and lactate. The toxicological effects of lactate can be understood in terms of the toxicological effect of lactic acid. Calcium ions - i.e. simple calcium salts, are non-toxic..
Lactic acid is a ubiquitous and essential molecule of life in all higher animals and many micro-organisms. It is found in a multitude of food components. For such a molecule the determination of any genotoxic effect is irrelevant, since the internal exposure, and to a lesser extent the external exposure to this molecule is fixed and unavoidable.Short description of key information:
Calcium lactate fully dissociates into Ca2+ ions and lactate. The toxicological effects of lactate can be understood in terms of the toxicological effect of lactic acid. Calcium ions - i.e. simple calcium salts, are non-toxic.
Lactic acid is not genotoxic; however this finding is scientifically irrelevant.
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
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.
