“…For arsenic, intensive consumption was found to be risky. Mansouri et al (31) reported that CR values in relation to Cd levels were similar to the current study when four different cans of tuna were consumed once a week. While four other products pose carcinogenic risks in relation to chromium levels when consumed heavily, the risk was determined in only one sample (P1) for adults if consumed 5 days a week.…”

“…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).…”

“…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.…”

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.

“…The highest level of Cd was obtained in T. occidentalis from Champion Breweries while the lowest was recorded in T. triangulare from Akwa Ibom Water Company (Table 2). The relatively high levels of Cd in T. occidentalis impacted by wastewater from Champion Breweries could be attributed to stainless steel equipment [53,54]. The mean values of Cd recorded for the studied T. occidentalis and T. triangulare are relatively higher than the values reported for these vegetables at the control site (Table 2).…”

Health risks of toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with the consumption of Telfairia occidentalis and Talinum triangulare impacted by wastewater from water treatment plants within Uyo Metropolis, Southern Nigeria, were investigated using standard methods. The level of toxic metals and PAHs was higher in vegetables impacted by wastewater from food processing industries than in the other investigated sources. The levels of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and chromium (Cr) in the vegetables exceeded their recommended limits by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Wastewater was confirmed as the major source of toxic metals in the vegetables. The estimated chronic daily intake of toxic metals through vegetables for both child and adult populations was lower than their tolerable daily intake. The hazard quotients of noncarcinogenic PAHs indicated higher values for children than adults. The vegetables contained all the priority PAHs except dibenz[a,h]anthracene. The estimated daily intake of PAHs was higher in children than in adults, except for phenanthrene. The threshold screening values for PAHs indicated lower non-carcinogenic health risks for consumers. The carcinogenic health risks of metals and PAHs via vegetables indicated a moderately high risk for both populations. The consumption of vegetables impacted by wastewater could result in serious health problems for both child and adult populations. This study has exposed the environmental and human health problems related to the use of wastewater for the irrigation of vegetable gardens, which hitherto were unavailable in the study area.

“…Through canning, fish can be preserved for extended periods and transported to farther points. However, with this advantage, possible contamination in canned fish raises some concerns for public health.The most important of these concerns are bacterial load ( Hariri, Bouchriti & Bengueddour, 2018 ), heavy metal pollution ( Mansouri et al, 2021 ), and microplastic contamination ( Karami et al, 2018 ; Akhbarizadeh et al, 2020 ; Diaz-Basantes et al, 2022 ). Despite these concerns, canned seafood is a popular food source worldwide because it is practical and inexpensive.…”

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in processed seafood is a growing concern. In this study, 33 different canned fish brands belonging to seven producers were purchased from the Turkish market and investigated. MPs composition, possible sources, and potential intake were assessed. Light microscopy was used to quantify potential MPs, and micro-Raman microscopy was used to identify the polymer types. The results showed that all the samples had at least one MPs particle, and fragments were the most abundant (57.3%) shape of MPs. Polyolefin (21.88%) was the most common polymer type. The results showed that packaging and the production processes are the main possible sources of MPs. Human intake estimation risk is relatively lower since canned fish consumption is relatively low. The findings suggest that the risk related to MPs in canned fish should be considered one of the components of food safety management systems.
