6 patients employed in the metalworking industry developed a hand dermatitis after exposure to a vegetable‐oil‐based cutting fluid. After thorough investigation, including patch testing with components in the cutting fluid as well as an oil and cutting fluid series, contact allergy was demonstrated to a fatty acid ester EM‐550 in the cutting fluid.
