“…Besides the numerous benefits of consuming fish and fish products [ 1 , 6 , 7 , 61 ], humans are exposed to certain toxic elements via consumption of them. Fishes may accumulate non-essential metals (Pb, Cd and Ni), and therefore can be considered as a public health threat [ 20 , 29 , 33 , 62 , 63 ]. When the risk of toxicity is resolved, analysis of the concentration of the metal in the muscle tissue and the amount of consumed fish is undertaken.…”

“…The calculated values for the EWI and PTWI showed that the consumption of the canned fish samples was considered safe with regard to Cu, Fe, Zn, Cr, Mn and Al. In addition, many studies have reported that the EDI/EWI values in canned fish are acceptable [ 8 , 9 , 11 , 62 , 63 , 68 ]. Additionally, there are few studies on EDI or EWI in various canned fish in the literature, which stated that the EDI/EWI values for Fe, Cu, Zn, Al, Cr, Cd, Mn, Pb and Ni are under the PTWI levels stated by health organizations [ 69 ], so these fish samples do not pose risks to consumers’ health.…”

Today, the distribution and consumption of canned products have become widespread due to the convenience of using processed fish products. This study aims to evaluate elements of toxicological concern and essential elements (Cd, Al, Cu, Cr, Mn, Fe, Pb, Ni, and Zn), the fatty acid composition, and the fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant pigment contents of various canned fish products purchased on the Bulgarian market. The estimated weekly intake and human health benefit–risk ratio based on metal elements and n-3 LC-PUFA contents in canned fish products were assessed. The contents of the analyzed elements in the canned samples were found to be below the limits set by various health organizations. Al was detected in only one sample. The profile of fatty acids showed that the canned fish had high PUFA/SFA ratios, EPA + DHA contents and low SFA, AI and TI values. The analyzed canned fish contained significant contents of fat-soluble vitamins. The Atlantic bonito in a jar sample was characterized by a high percentage of vitamin A (26.7% RDI) and vitamin D3 (142% RDI) per 100 g portion. The calculated EWI value shows that the consumption of canned fish products did not present any risk. The benefit–risk ratio indicates that the canned fish species are safe for human consumption, except for one sample regarding Cr.
