Abstract
Canned meat and chicken are common and popular protein sources around the world
because they constitute low-cost and affordable products. However, canned meat and
chicken might become sources of human exposure to chemical residues such as heavy
metals. This study aimed to estimate the residual contents of six heavy metals, namely
leads (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), aluminium (Al), and tin (Sn) in the
samples of canned beef, corned beef, and chicken luncheon. Likewise, estimated daily
intakes (EDI), potential health risks, hazard quotient (HQ), and hazard index (HI), of the
heavy metals associated with the consumption of such products among the Egyptian
population, were calculated. Comparing the obtained results with available maximum
permissible limits (MPL) of Egyptian and international standards revealed that
acceptability rate at 20%, 15%, and 35% in Pb; 40%, 25%, and 45% in Cd; 30%, 25%,
and 35% in As; 25%, 20%, and 35% in Hg; 15%, 10%, and 15% in Al of the canned beef,
corned beef, and chicken luncheon, respectively. Whereas all samples were accepted
according to the MPL of Sn. The calculated HQ and HI for the examined heavy metals
based on the daily intakes revealed values of canned beef and chicken luncheon <1.0
indicating the safety of consumer meanwhile, the value was 1.021 for canned corned beef
indicating potential human health risks. Therefore, it is advisable to reduce the daily
intake of canned corned beef.
