The Dietary Intakes were based on the total Diet Studies approach have been studied in the year 2008 depending on Egyptian  National Food Consumption  Data issued by Ministry of Agriculture. The  items and composites were selected according to their popularity and high consumption representing all groups of food and origin.  The pattern of residues showed that no organochlorine pesticide residues or PCB's were detected in samples, Only Azoxystrubin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorafenpyr,l-Cyhalothrin and Profenofos  were   detected in low concentrations and not exceeding their ADIs.  All the detected heavy metal element concentrations were below their acceptable values. The mean concentration of total aflatoxin  was below their ADIs . All the samples were contaminated with nitrates within the acceptable limits. Generally all detected samples were within the international limits and no exceeding were found.
