    Abstract:
    The carcinogenicity of a food additive, 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (AF-2), was studied in Wistar rats and CDF1 mice. The rats developed mammary tumors; the first appearing 9 months after the start of the experiment. In mice fed AF-2 diet, squamous cell carcinoma of the forestomach was observed in the 11th month. Some mice had metastases in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes and peritoneal cavity.
