[Mutagenicity testing of irradiated laboratory animal feed in the 'host-mediated' assay with Salmonella typhimurium G 46].
Food irradiated with 10 MeV-electrons (dose: 4-5 Mrad) was tested for mutagenic effects, using the host-mediated assay. Irradiated 'Altomin' (a pelleted laboratory diet) was fed to mice for 9 to 44 days. After the 30th day of feeding, the animals additionally received irradiated glucose-solution instead of drinking water. Results did not indicate any mutagenic activity of the irradiated diet on the histidine-auxotroph strain of Salmonella typhimurium used in the assay.
