Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No mortality, weight changes, clinical signs nor macroscopic findings were observed in male and female mice exposed to the test item at 10 g/kg. LD50 was therefore > 10 g/kg for both males and females
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of PPC-H was investigated in one group of fasted male and female NMRI mice. The mice were exposed to a single oral dose of the test item (10 g/kg) and observed for 14 days post exposure.

No mortality, weight changes, clinical signs nor macroscopic findings were in male and female mice exposed to the test item (10 g/kg).

LD50 is therefore reported as > 10 g/kg for both males and females
