5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal carcinogenicity data
Scarlet red induced local sarcomas in rats following its subcutaneous
injection; however, no data are reported for controls given the
solvent alone. Another experiment in which
mice were treated orally gave a negative result, but the adequacy of
the dose could not be assessed. Other experiments were considered
inadequate for evaluation.
5.2 Human carcinogenicity data
No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the
Working Group.
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 71: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
