Use

Sorbic acid is used as an antimicrobial preservative in oral and topical pharmaceutical formulations and is generally regarded as a nontoxic material. However, adverse reactions to sorbic acid and potassium sorbate, including irritant skin reactions and allergic hypersensitivity skin reactions (which are less frequent), have been reported. Other adverse reactions that have been reported include exfoliative dermatitis due to ointments that contain sorbic acid, and allergic conjunctivitis caused by contact lens solutions preserved with sorbic acid. No adverse reactions have been described after systemic administration of sorbic acid, and it has been reported that it can be ingested safely by patients who are allergic to sorbic acid. However, perioral contact urticaria has been reported. The WHO has set an estimated total acceptable daily intake for sorbic acid, calcium sorbate, potassium sorbate, and sodium sorbate, expressed as sorbic acid, at up to 25 mg/kg bodyweight. Animal toxicological studies have shown no mammalian carcinogenicity or teratogenicity for sorbic acid consumed at up to 10% of the diet. LD50 (mouse, IP): 2.82 g/kg LD50 (mouse, oral): 3.20 g/kg LD50 (mouse, SC): 2.82 g/kg LD50 (rat, oral): 7.36 g/kg
