A total of 10 841 food products of animal origin such as smoked meat products, canned meat products, poultry products, fish and fish products and animal fats to be sold on the Slovakian market were analysed for the presence of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in accredited state control laboratories in the frame of official controls and monitoring of food quality during 1994–2005. Results were summarized and compared with maximum acceptable levels set by European Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006. As found, BaP contents were above the limit in 1.6 percent of all foods. The maximum acceptable BaP contents of 5 micro g per kg were above the limit mainly in smoked meat products, where also extremely high BaP content at the level of 700 micro g per kg was found in sausage smoked at uncontrolled domestic conditions. Total average BaP contents in controlled food commodities were as follows: fish and fish products - 1.15 micro g per kg, smoked meat products - 1.02 micro g per kg, animal fats - 0.35 micro g per kg, poultry products - 0.30 micro g per kg and canned meat products - 0.25 micro g per kg.
