Like naturally occurring elements, metals also enter food through air, water and soil. The levels of metals and other elements found in foodstuffs depend primarily on the following factors:
In addition, some health-promoting metals, such as iron, are deliberately added to certain food products, such as breakfast cereals and baby foods, to enhance their nutritional benefits.
The properties of certain metals, the amount of intake and the age and developmental process of that person are the main factors that help determine how a metal affects human health. Understanding the risk posed by harmful metals in the food supply is complex, as exposure to metals comes from many different foods. Even low levels of harmful metals from individual food sources can sometimes pose serious concerns.
Standards have been developed for monitoring and testing metals in foods and animal feeds to ensure safety in the food supply.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are services for the determination of metals and other elements in foods.
