For 3 months mice (757) were fed diets containing uncured bacon, irradiated with 5.58 megarad of gamma rays, or uncured unirradiated bacon. 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 indicated that irradiation of the bacon did not produce carcinogens or growth-altering substances demonstrable under the conditions of the experiments. No significant differences between the degree of unsaturation and peroxide numbers of irradiated and unirradiated bacon lipid was found. Storage of the bacon lipid at room temperature for up to 2 months resulted in a higher peroxide number for the irradiated lipid. (H.H.D.)
