5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal carcinogenicity data
Sudan II was tested in mice and rats by the oral and subcutaneous
routes. Results of these studies cannot be evaluated because of the
inadequacy either of the number of animals used, the duration of the
experiment or the degree of reporting.
Sudan II was also tested in mice by bladder implantation, resulting in
a high incidence of bladder carcinomas (see also General Remarks).
5.2 Human carcinogenicity data
No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the
Working Group.
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 72: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
