The objective of this study was to determine the level of contamination by benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P) in some selected processed meat products smoked using a traditional smoking method and available on the market. The procedure of preparing samples for the determination of benzo(a)pyrene content comprised the following: extraction of the lipid fraction, SEC (Size Exclusion Chromatography) technique to separate hydrocarbons from fat, and high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HClP/FLD). As many as 98 percent of all the analyzed samples of smoked processed meat products were characterized by a content of benzo(a)pyrene that was below its permissible level set for the food products of this type; among other things, this fact proves that the smoking process was appropriately performed
