In: Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal 2003.v.49(99)Summary: In this study, thirty random samples of ready-to-eat meat products (shawerma and hamburger, 15 of each) were used and collected from different restaurants in Assiut City to determine their lead and cadmium levels. The results revealed that: (1) Lead levels (ppm) were 0.072 (ranged from 0.018 to 0.104) in shawerma and 0.050 (ranged from 0.014 to 0.090) in hamburger. (2) Cadmium levels (ppm) were 0.067 (ranged from 0.010 to 0,098) in shawerma and 0.049 (ranged from 0.006 to 0.085) in hamburger.From this study, it is clear that all examined samples showed low contamination with lead and cadmium. The consumption of such meat products regularly even in a small amounts for long time may result in health troubles.So the sources ofcontamination by lead and cadmium to these products must be avoided or at least minimized and controlled.
