Abstract
Food safety is a priority for the European Union (EU). EU food safety policy covers all sectors of the food chain. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted in Bulgaria on contaminants in plant and animal foods as one of the priority areas of food safety policy. Metals are part of the chemical pollutants in the environment. People are exposed to metals from the environment and food and water contaminated with metals. Researchers have found that the intake of metals with food is different and that food exposure is the primary way of metal exposure.
