Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT
A study was conducted of the effect on the concentration of lead in canned foods when they are stored in their lead‐soldered cans after opening. Lead concentrations were periodically monitored during 5 days or 14 days after can opening. Fruit juices had the greatest increases in lead concentration during storage. Low‐acid foods did not exhibit a significant increase in lead concentration. Recommendations against storing acidic foods and juices in their opened cans are supported by the results of the study. |
