To know the conditions of contamination by the chemicals in the experimental animal diets, the contents of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) were analyzed in the diets for mice and rats. The raw materials of the diets were also analyzed. In addition, NDMA levels were determined in the diets which were stored long or heated in the autoclaves. The averages of NDMA in these diets were less than 10 ppb. ...
