Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be > 5000 mg/kg bw when rats were treated with Aluminum tristearate orally.
Executive summary:

In a acute roal toxicity study, rat were treated with aluminum trioctadecanoate in the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw orally. No mortality were observed in treated rats at 5000 mg/kg bw when rats were treated with aluminum trioctadecanoate orally.
