Abstract
Nutrition is one of the most important elements that affect human health, work ability and length of life. That is why it is necessary that the food products which are consumed daily are of high quality, but also safe, that is, do not contain substances harmful to the body. Food safety in all branches of food industry (production, processing, packaging, storage, transport and sale) is of increasing importance. International quality and health conformity standards establish norms for the chemical composition of food products and define the minimum and maximum amounts of certain parameters. Each state applies the prescribed standards through the adoption of appropriate laws and regulations. Heavy metals in food can be present as environmental contaminants or as residues from treatments used at all stages during production. If they are present in food products above the maximum allowable values, they can have a toxic effect. In this paper, using the AAS technique, the metals lead and cadmium were analysed in 37 food products that are used in the collective diet of the members of the North Macedonia Army. The results showed that the obtained parameters correspond to the valid regulations for the examined metals and that they are safe to use.
