Survey of Aluminium Content of Processed Food Using Baking Powder (2015–2016)

Abstract

The aluminium Al content of Japanese confectionery and foods containing flour was investigated. Some of these items were investigated in previous studies, which examined foods that made use of baking powder containing aluminium potassium sulfate Alum . Al was detected in 41 of the 123 samples at levels ranging from 0.01 limit of quantitation to 0.40 mg/g. The detection rate of Al in almost all confectionery except Japanese confectionery was decreased as compared with previous studies. However, the detection rate of Al in Japanese confectionery and foods containing flour was high. For 4 of the 41 samples tested, consuming one serving once a week would result in an Al intake exceeding the PTWI for young children body weight 16 kg .

“…Between 2015 and 2016, Takanashi et al (2018) conducted a survey in Japan on the aluminum content in flour-based products and confectionery with baking powder. Aluminum was found in 33.33 % of the evaluated products (corresponding to 41 out of 123 samples), at levels between 0.01 (limit of quantification) and 0.40 mg/g.…”
