“…29). Arsenic values in canned fish, in contrast, are similar to the values by Ulusoy (24); however, it is lower than reported by several studies (14, 26,29,49). This difference is due to the direct use of As values determined as a result of instrumental analyses in most studies.…”

“…The concentrations of all other metals and metalloids were found to be below the threshold value of 1, as presented in Table 4. Similarly, Ulusoy (24) for Cd and As; Mansouri et al (31) for Cd; Rahmani et al (50) for As, Se, Cu, Al, Zn, and Fe reported THQ values below the threshold value (=1). Among all THQ values calculated according to the metal levels found in all canned fish samples, the highest values were observed for chromium (Cr).…”

“…The calculations showed that the EWI levels were higher in children than in adults, as expected. Additionally, an increase in the frequency of canned fish consumption led to (24,32). EWI was calculated for Pb although no PTWI comparison was made.…”

“…In recent years, studies on microplastic and Bisphenol-A contamination in canned products have also been carried out (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). There is also a lot of research on metal pollution, one of the most common risks in canned fish (13,14,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Studies on metal contamination in food products have largely concentrated on the quantification aspect.…”

“…In addition to establishing limit values, several consumer risk assessment criteria, such as estimated weekly intake (EWI), target hazard quotient (THQ), and lifetime cancer risk (CR), have become increasingly relevant to ensure consumer health and food safety. Moreover, contamination of processed seafood can also occur during transportation, processing and packaging (12,14,24). For this reason, it is important for food safety to calculate the metal levels and related health risk estimation calculations of the canned seafood products offered to consumers, which have an increasing market share worldwide.…”

This study analyzed 34 canned fish products, including 28 tuna specimens, 3 salmon specimens, 1 mackerel specimen, and 1 anchovy specimen, from 13 different brands purchased in Türkiye. The study aimed to determine metal/metalloid levels in canned fish and potential health risks for both children and adult consumers. The metal/metalloid levels in the samples were determined using an Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometer (ICP–MS), with the range of levels found as follows (mg/kg, ww): Fe (12.12–101.4), Cu (2.19–11.68), Zn (4.06–33.56), Se (0.24–10.74), Al (1.41–14.45), Cr (0.06–4.08), Pb (0.10–0.43), Cd (0.001–0.110), and As (0.01–0.13). Estimated weekly intake (EWI) levels were found that the consumption of canned fish products did not pose any risk based on the EWI levels and provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) limits. However, three tuna samples had target hazard quotient (THQ) levels above the threshold (>1). Arsenic levels were found to increase the carcinogenic risk for child consumers if they heavily consumed 18 canned fish products, including 15 tuna, 2 salmon, and 1 mackerel. The maximum allowable consumption rates (CRmm) for each canned fish product were calculated monthly. Consequently, the consumption of canned fish by children can pose health risks.
