“…TTHQ max (due to tested products ingestion) was up to 0.97441 for canned fish and up to 0.03825 for canned meat (Table 6). Because the value of THQ ≤ 1, there is no probability of unfavorable effects occurring [9]. According to the literature data, the values of THQ for heavy metals were as follows: in fish from Bangladesh, Pb from 0.00 to 0.19, As from 0.01 to >1, Cd from 0.01 to >1 [62]; in canned tuna from Mexico, Pb up to 0.00027, Hg up to 0.1889, Cd up to 0.00003 [39]; in canned tuna from Italy, Pb up to 0.0043, Cd up to 0.102, Hg up to 1.441 [63].…”

e objective of the study was to determine the content of cobalt, silver, tin, antimony, lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, vanadium, chromium, manganese, nickel, and uranium in canned meat and canned fish by means of ICP-MS apparatus and mercury analyzer. Also, probabilistic risk assessment (non carcinogenic) was estimated by models including target hazard quotient (THQ). It was found that Mn was the element with the highest concentration in the analyzed products, with average concentration of 0.216 mg·kg −1 in canned meat and 1.196 mg·kg −1 in canned fish. e average contents of other elements were as follows (respectively, for canned meat and fish): Co 0.018 and 0.028 mg·kg −1 , Ag 0.0386 and 0.0053 mg·kg −1 , Sn 0.059 and 0.200 mg·kg −1 , Sb 0.0268 and 0.0377 mg·kg −1 , Pb 0.202 and 0.068 mg·kg −1 , Hg 0.00003 and 0.02676 mg·kg −1 , Cd 0.00496 and 0.0202 mg·kg −1 , As 0.002 and 0.857 mg·kg −1 , V 0.0003 and 0.095 mg·kg −1 , Cr 0.244 and 0.590 mg·kg −1 , Mn 0.216 and 1.196 mg·kg −1 , Ni 0.004 and 0.088 mg·kg −1 , and U < LOQ and 0.047 mg·kg −1 . e concentration of As was the highest among other toxic elements in canned fish; therefore, the THQ value of this element revealed the highest level amounting up to 0.77576 (THQ max ).

“…At purchase, the highest concentrations in our canned food samples were thus obtained for these three elements: Sn 28.2-75.7 mg/kg (which remains below its ML value in food), Fe 3.14-8.54 mg/kg, and Table 3). Much higher concentrations of Pb were reported in canned fruits purchased in local supermarkets in Iran (Fathabad et al, 2018), possibly due to environmental contamination of the fruits before canning.…”

The migration of eight trace elements (Fe, Sn, Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Zn) was monitored for fruits canned in uncoated tinplate cans under different storage conditions until the shelf life. The levels of most of these elements significantly increased with storage time and were also affected by storage temperature. Particularly, storage at 40°C (simulating sunlight exposure of the cans) caused important release of Sn and Fe so that canned foods did not comply with regulation. Can denting accelerated the migration of several metals, especially Fe and Sn. Moreover, Fe and Sn levels drastically increased in fruits kept in open cans stored in the fridge for a few days. Small pieces of fruits contained higher level of metals than larger ones, and the side seam coating reduced the migration of trace elements. Practical applications Canned fruits are a convenient alternative to fresh fruits to fulfill the nutritional recommendations for a healthy diet. At the same time, canned fruits may be contaminated by several trace metals (particularly tin, lead, and chromium), partly due to their migration from the unlacquered tinplate cans. This study investigates several parameters prone to affect metals migration during fruit cans handling and storage (storage time and temperatures, denting the cans, leaving open cans in the fridge, as well as food brand and fruit type). Proper advice for handling and storing canned fruits is proposed, especially since the low pH and small pieces of fruits may favor metals release and uptake by the food.

Beans and vegetables are consumed with cereals in India on daily basis. The aim of the study was to assess carcinogenic and non‐carcinogenic risk of heavy metals in cooked beans and cooked vegetables consumed by adults (18–59 years) and elderly (≥60 years) subjects from two districts (Ludhiana and Bathinda) of Punjab. A total of 150 households were selected from 30 different locations covering both rural and urban areas. The mean daily consumption of beans and vegetables in Ludhiana was recorded as 35.09 and 215.93 g, respectively. The corresponding figures in Bathinda were observed as 26.85 and 230.54 g. The average amounts of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury were 1.44 × 10−5, 8.21 × 10−5, 1.30 × 10−3, and 2.61 × 10−7 mg/kg for cooked vegetables in urban households of Ludhiana district, respectively. The corresponding values for rural households were 1.53 × 10−5, 5.58 × 10−5, and 2.98 × 10−4 mg/kg while mercury was not detected. The mean chronic daily intake (CDI) of arsenic from cooked beans was significantly (p ≤ .001) higher in urban adult males of Ludhiana (7.74 × 10−9 mg/kg/day) and Bathinda (5.31 × 10−9 mg/kg/day) compared to their rural counterparts. Similar trend was observed in CDI of heavy metals from vegetables. The mean CDI of cadmium from cooked vegetables in urban adult females of Ludhiana (3.76 × 10−7 mg/kg/day) was significantly (p ≤ .001) higher than their rural counterparts and both urban and rural adult females of Bathinda. The study concluded that the subjects of both districts were found safe from non‐carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk associated with heavy metals present in cooked beans and vegetables, except for urban subjects and rural adult subjects of Ludhiana district who had cancer risk due to cadmium present in cooked vegetable samples.
