“…The Polish processing industry produces products from Baltic sprats that contain, on average, a sum total of EPA and DHA at 2400 mg/ 100 g in smoked sprat to 1700 mg/100 g of sprat canned in oil. Herring products generally have lower contents of these acids, for example in smoked herring there is 708 mg/100 g (Usydus et al, 2008(Usydus et al, , 2009. As little as about 50 g of smoked sprat can meet the recommended daily requirement (1 g per adult daily) of EPA + DHA for patients with coronary heart disease (Kris-Etherton et al, 2002).…”

“…In our study, Hg concentration of all samples was below permissible limits. Canned sardines and canned mackerel marketed in the USA and in Poland have been determined to be safe regarding this metal [12,14]. Likewise, concentrations of Hg in mackerel and sardines were below the limits [2,43].…”

“…It is clear that canned fish may contain different levels of heavy metals, even if they are made of the same species of fish. On the Polish market, mercury contamination of the most popular varieties of canned fish [14] and heavy metals in canned sprat [15] were low in relation to permissible limits. Likewise, canned fish do not present a health risk regarding mercury levels on the Slovenian market [16].…”

Concentrations of selected metals were determined using ICP-MS in canned bonito, sardines and mackerel commercialized in Turkey. Thirty samples and two different brands were sampled for each fish species. The minimum and maximum concentrations of trace metals in canned bonito, sardines and mackerel were found as 0.000-34.742, 0.000-89.015, 0.000-28.725 mg/kg for iron, 2.388-26.620, 10.930-41.340, 4.778-29.270 mg/kg for zinc, 0.331-1.548, 0.599-2.242, 0.336-2.884 mg/kg for copper, 0.000-0.065, 0.000-0.113, 0.000-0.115 mg/kg for cadmium, 0.000-0.190, 0.000-0.158, 0.000-0.385 mg/kg for tin, 0.000-0.111, 0.000-0.223, 0.000-0.208 mg/kg for mercury and 0.000-3.046, 0.000-2.875, 0.000-3.529 mg/kg for lead, respectively. These levels are similar those found in other studies. Although the samples have concentrations within permissible limits for Zn, Cu, Sn and Hg, some of them contained Fe, Cd and Pb above these limits. Periodical controls of metals in canned fish are essential both to protect human health and to provide data on this subject.

“…It has valuable resources of proteins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. Since different kinds of fish contain essential unsaturated fatty acids (Usydus et al, 2008), they can be used to prevent coronary heart disease and thrombosis (Kris-Etherton et al, 2002). However, predator fish like billfish, shark and tuna may accumulate toxic metals in their tissues.…”

Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B

Fifty-four canned tuna fish samples corresponding to 10 widely used different brands were purchased from local markets in Tehran, Iran during 2012-2013 and analysed on heavy metals. Mercury was determined by a direct mercury analyser without any sample preparation. For analysis of other elements samples were digested using a microwave apparatus. Lead and cadmium were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and arsenic via hydride vapour generation. All samples had arsenic and mercury contamination. Arsenic levels showed a range of 0.25-1.42 mg kg(-1), which might be due to lack of national and international limits for arsenic in canned tuna fish. Lead and cadmium were measured in a small number of samples with a mean of 0.053 ± 0.058 mg kg(-1) and 0.013 ± 0.015 mg kg(-1), respectively. Results obtained for these heavy metals in all samples were lower than the corresponding limits, whereas arsenic and mercury contents might raise some attention.
