Meat products are essential sources of high quality animal protein, essential amino acids, and trace elements such as copper, zinc, and iron, and vitamins such as vitamin B group. However, meat products can be exposed to contamination with several xenobiotics including heavy metals. Several species of the heavy metal group have no physiological functions and their intake via contaminated food and water is associated with several adverse health effects that might reach to even death.
