Irradiated green beans and chicken were found to be essentially equal to non-irradiated foods in nutritive value and toxic properties for rats. Data are included on growth, food consumption, fertility, reproduction, and longevity of three generations. A comparison was made of the vitamin B/sub 6/ content of irradiated, commercially canned, and frozen beef liver, green beans, cabbage, boned chicken, sweet potatoes, and lima beans. The vitamin K content was compared for irradiated, commercially canned, and frozen green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, brocolli, and asparagus. The method used in the vitamin determinations are described. Studies are described to deteremine the nature of the agent producing hemorrhagic syndrome in male rats receiving irradiated beef. (C.H.)
