Examination of elemental composition in baby foods: contribution to NRVs and chemical risk assessment

Abstract

This study aims to examine the element content in baby foods recommended for babies aged 4 to 12 months. This study involves the utilization of an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for examining the concentration of macroelements (Ca, K, Mg, Na, P, S), microelements (Ba, B, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, Sr, Co, Ni, Se, Mo, Cr) and toxic elements (Al, Cd, Hg, Pb, As).
