Abstract
Canned, heated, lean salted pork (2.5% sodium chloride) treated with sodium nitrite at 200, 1000 and 4000 ppm was fed to mice and rats during the entire period of spermatogenesis before the performance of dominant-lethal tests and the heritable translocation test. No significant dose-related increase in dead implants was detected in the dominant-lethal tests. The finding of one semi-sterile male from the group given salted pork treated with sodium nitrite at 4000 ppm in the heritable translocation test in mice is not considered to be significant owing to the number of animals in the experiment.
