| Research Abstract |
Oral administration of formaldehyde via chow that were intended to be contained in the food caused reduction of number of E. coli in the gastrointestinal tract of mice and the disturbance the immune system of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Since formaldehyde-containing foods in the conventional extraction method of detection is likely to be underestimated and long term exposure to low level of formaldehyde to adversely affect the gastrointestinal tract immunity, the need for further safety assessment for the formaldehyde in foods has been shown.
