Notes:
Uncured bacon, irradiated with 5.58 megarads of gamma rays was compared with similar uncured unirradiated bacon by feeding to 757 mice. There were no major differences between the control and experimental groups. No gross or histopathological lesions attributable to irradiation of the lipid were observed. The incidence of spontaneous cancers showed no significant differences among the diet groups and indicates that irradiation of the bacon did not produce carcinogens or growth-altering substances demonstrable under the conditions of these experiments.
