Aluminium content of foods originating from aluminium-containing food additives

Abstract: Aluminium (Al) levels of 90 food samples were investigated. Nineteen samples contained Al levels exceeding the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) for young children [body weight (bw): 16 kg] when consuming two servings/week. These samples were purchased multiple times at specific intervals and were evaluated for Al levels. Al was detected in 27 of the 90 samples at levels ranging from 0.01 (limit of quantitation) to 1.06 mg/g. Of these, the Al intake levels in two samples (cookie and scone mix, 1.3 and 2 mg/kg bw/w… Show more

“…This traditional method preserve jellyfish leading to a typical product responding to the sensory parameters (color, texture, and overall acceptability) requested by Asiatic consumers [16]. However, edible jellyfish tissues treated with alum may retain alarming amounts of aluminum [17][18][19], which is known to be responsible of a number of negative effects on human health, including Alzheimer's disease [18].…”

“…Food samples tested were found to contain Al levels in the range of 0.01 to 1.06 mg/g in 27 out of the total 90 samples tested. [ 4 ] The use of antiperspirants, drying agents, and cosmetics contributes to percutaneous and inhalational exposure. [ 2 ] Al is found to be a component of commonly used medications such as antiulcer drugs such as sucralfate, antacids containing Al hydroxide, hemodialysis fluid, total parenteral nutrition solutions, phosphate binders, and vaccines.…”

“…Despite the use of additives in these products, a significant reduction was observed in 2009 and between 2011 and 2014, which may be associated with public policies, even though the presence of additives in some specific foods may exceed the level recommended for children (Ogimoto et al, 2016).…”
