RADIATION AND STERILIZATION OF FOODS
Abstract
This report of findings, in the material received from Georgia Coastal Plains Experiment Station, is one of a series of preliminary reports to be prepared by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. The diet fed to the dogs on this experiment included irradiated bacon or cabbage. The materials received were complete and well prepared. The pathologists' reports were fully completed and pathologic conditions adequately described. There is no evidence noted from the review of this material that the consumption of irradiated bacon or cabbage, by dogs, produced any histopathologic change that can be attributed to the specific food or level or irradiation. Lymphocytic thyroiditis was the most unusual finding. The condition was noted in both feeding programs and in all experimental diet groups including controls. Further investigation of this type lesion in other dog feeding programs will be made. (Author)
