Toxicological evaluations of diets containing beef stew and raw cabbage, previously treated with 2.79 or 5.58 megarads of gamma rays, were conducted on 4 generations of rats. Growth data revealed no marked difference between irradiated diet and control groups. A slight difference in weight gains was seen in 2nd and 3rd generation females. No statistically significant differences were found in breeding performance, survival time, hematological values, or gross pathology of organs. Data are tabulated. (C.H.)
