Abstract

The food chain creates potential health hazards with regards to the transmission of toxic elements to animal tissues, and subsequently to humans. Poultry meat and egg products contain a wide range of trace elements; some of these are of important nutritional value, such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn), while others have toxic effects, such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) of poultry meat and its products. Therefore, this study was conducted in the laboratories of the Food Sci. and Techno. Depart. Fac. Agric. of New Valley University Egypt. The objective of this study is to study the trace element types in poultry meat (breast & thigh) and egg, to ensure the safety of this products offered in the market from any Pollutants. The results indicated that there were significant differences in heavy elements of poultry meat and egg such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb, Cd, As and Hg. The studied heavy elements of poultry meat and egg were under detectable levels in poultry meat and egg, suggesting that there is no threat from toxic heavy metals set by Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality Control. More governmental efforts are needed to control the environmental pollution and improve the environment quality of New Valley Governorate Egypt.
