Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Vegeflux soy is not irritating to the eye in rabbit according to this test
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study (Thanikaivel V, 2008), 0.1 mL of undiluted Vegeflux Soy was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three New Zealand White rabbits (female). The eyes were then observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

 

No effect was observed during the observation period; all the scores (cornea, iris, conjunctivae, chemosis) were equal to zero.

In this study, Vegeflux Soy is not an eye irritant in the rabbit. Vegeflux soy is not classified according to EU criteria.
