Aluminium content of some foods and food products in the USA, with aluminium food additives
The primary objective was to determine the aluminium (Al) content of selected foods and
food products in the USA which contain Al as an approved food additive. Intake of Al from
the labeled serving size of each food product was calculated. The samples were acid or
base digested and analysed for Al using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.
Quality control (QC) samples, with matrices matching the samples, were generated and
used to verify the Al determinations. Food product Al content ranged from< 1–27,000 mg kg …
