Abstract

Charles River CD-1 mice were fed FD & C Blue No. 2 in the diet levels of 0.5, 1.5 and 5.0% in a long-term toxicity/carcinogenicity study. Each group consisted of 60 males and 60 females. Two concurrent control groups each of 60 males and 60 females received the basal diet. Maximum exposure was 23 months. No consistent compound-related or statistically significant biologically adverse effects were noted.
