I found that info when I looked it up.  However, it looks like yesterdays news, which is one of my favorite litters and it is made from recyled newspaper like biocatolet... it may be safe to use, but that doesnt mean that some rats may not have some type of reaction to it. See how they do without it for a few days. Process of elimination is the only way to go when dealing with litters as long as we know they are safe and dust and perfume free.
