Additional information
One key study was available in order to assess the acute toxicity of the test item HC Yellow No.2 :
-Burnett, 1987, Klimisch 2 : A 10% suspension of the test substance in 3% acacia was administered once via oral gavage to groups of 5 male and 5 female rats at the dose levels 625, 1250, and 2500 mg/kg bw. At the low dose no mortalities were observed, at the mid dose no deaths were seen in the males while 3 of 5 females died within 8 h after dosing. At the high dose all animals died. The LD50 value was defined between 625 mg/kg bw and 1250 mg/kg bw according to mortality observed in females.
