Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD5): 3 mg/kg [Rat]. (Citric acid). Acute oral toxicity (LD5): 59 mg/kg [Rat]. (Sorbitol). Acute oral toxicity (LD5): >8 mg/kg [Rabbit]. (Arabic gum) Acute oral toxicity (LD5): >6 mg/kg [Rat].(Arabic gum) Acute oral toxicity (LD5): >6 mg/kg [Mouse]. (Arabic gum) Contains material which may cause damage to the following organs: teeth. Slightly hazardous in case of ingestion. Non-irritant for skin. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation. LDL[Rabbit] - Route: oral; Dose: 7mg/kg (Citric acid) May affect genetic material (mutagenic) (Sorbitol) May affect genetic material (mutagenic) based on animal test data. (Arabic gum) May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal test data. No human data found. (Arabic gum) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Not expected to cause skin irritation. Eyes: Not expected to cause eye irritation. Inhalation: Not an inhalation hazard. Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, hypermotilitiy and diarrhea. Contains citric acid. Excessive intake of Citric acid may cause erosion of teeth and hypocalcemia (calcium deficiency in blood). Ingestion of large amounts of Citric acid also may affect behavior/central nervous system (tremor, convulsions, muscle contraction or spasticity), blood (changes in serum composition), respiration (respiratory depression), heart (change in rate). Contains Gum arabic which may affect the liver, urinary systm (bladder), and blood (changes in serum composition) upon prolonged or repeated ingestion. Section 2. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation the Products of Biodegradation Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. The product itself and its products of degradation are not toxic. Section 3. Disposal Considerations Waste Disposal Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations.
