This study was conducted to evaluate the levels of heavy metals (lead , cadmium and copper)in cooked beef and  chicken meat . The obtained results indicated that the mean values of lead concentration in the examined samples of boiled chicken thigh, boiled chicken breast, roasted chicken thigh, roasted chicken breast, boiled fore quarter beef and boiled hind quarter beef  were 0.15± 0.01 , 0.12± 0.01 ,0.21± 0.02 ,0.16± 0.01 ,0.09± 0.01 and 0.13±0.01 mg/kg wet weight, respectively. While the mean values of  cadmium concentration in the examined samples of  boiled chicken thigh, boiled chicken breast, roasted chicken thigh, roasted chicken breast, boiled fore quarter beef and boiled hind quarter beef  were 0.09± 0.01 , 0.06± 0.01 ,0.14± 0.01 ,0.10± 0.01 ,0.05± 0.01 and 0.08± 0.01 , respectively Furthermore,  and that the mean values  of copper concentration in the examined samples of boiled chicken thigh, boiled chicken breast, roasted chicken thigh, roasted chicken breast, boiled fore quarter beef and boiled hind quarter beef were 2.28± 0.35 , 1.47± 0.22 ,2.59± 0.46 ,2.06± 0.31 ,1.47± 0.19 and 1.60±0.23 mg/kg wet weight, respectively, The public health importance of the heavy metals and the recommended points were discussed.
