In a three-generation reproduction study, groups of ten male and 20 female Charles River CD rats were fed FD & C Blue No. 2 at dietary levels providing intakes of 0.0, 2.5, 25, 75 and 250 mg/kg body weight/day. Slightly bluish-coloured fur was noted in rats at the 250-mg/kg/day dose level and bluish-green-coloured faeces were produced by rats in the 75- and 250-mg/kg/day groups. The gestation, viability and lactation indices of all litters were comparable for the control and treated groups. The fertility indices for female rats in the 2.5- and 25-mg/kg/day groups were significantly lower than those for control females in the case of the F2litters. However, there was no reduction in the female fertility indices for the F2litters at the two higher dosage levels, nor for the F1and F3litters at any dosage level. Although fertility indices were reduced for some groups of male rats in the F2band F2clitters, these changes were not considered to be compound-related. Examination of the ovaries and uteri of all dams killed on day 19 of gestation of the F2cand F3clitters revealed no gross anatomical abnormalities. No unusual changes were observed in the stillborn pups or in pups dying during the study. There were no compound-related gross or microscopic pathological lesions in any of the F1or F3arats that were killed and necropsied, and no compound-related organ-weight variations were recorded in the F1parental rats.
