The European Commission has established legislation for toxic metals in certain foodstuffs in order to protect public health already in 1993. After several amendments, new maximum levels for cadmium and lead in certain foods were set as per 30 and 31 August 2021 for lead and cadmium, respectively. The new Serbian Regulation on "maximum levels of certain contaminants in food" is fully harmonised with this European legislation. The concentrations of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and arsenic (As) were determined in 832 samples of 39 species of fruits and processed fruits, collected during the period January 2015 to December 2017. Fruits and fruit products originated from 45 countries, including Serbia. Samples were analysed by inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Concentrations of cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic in fruits and fruit products were compared to these maximum levels (MLs). Overall, measurable Cd, Pb, Hg, and As were found in 377 samples (45.3%). According to the former regulations, the maximum levels of Cd and Pb for analysed fruits and fruit products were exceeded in only 10 samples (1.20%; n = 832): Cd in 6 and Pb in 4 samples, but according to the latest regulations, the maximum levels of Cd and Pb for fruits were exceeded in 196 of the samples (23.9%; n = 820): Cd in 191 and Pb in 5 samples. The increase of ML exceedances shows that attention needs to be paid for compliance of food to the recent MLs for these metals.
早在1993年，欧盟委员会就已制定了关于某些食品中有毒金属的法规，以保护公众健康。经过多次修订，分别于2021年8月30日和31日设定了某些食品中镉和铅的新最高限量。塞尔维亚新的“食品中某些污染物的最高限量”法规与该欧盟法规完全协调一致。在2015年1月至2017年12月期间收集的39种水果和加工水果的832个样本中，测定了镉（Cd）、铅（Pb）、汞（Hg）和砷（As）的浓度。水果和水果产品来自包括塞尔维亚在内的45个国家。样本通过电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法（ICP-OES）进行分析。将水果和水果产品中镉、铅、汞和砷的浓度与这些最高限量（MLs）进行了比较。总体而言，在377个样本（45.3%）中检测到了可测量的镉、铅、汞和砷。根据以前的法规，在分析的水果和水果产品中，仅10个样本（1.20%；n = 832）超过了镉和铅的最高限量：6个样本中的镉和4个样本中的铅，但根据最新法规，在196个样本（23.9%；n = 820）中水果的镉和铅最高限量被超过：191个样本中的镉和5个样本中的铅。最高限量超标情况的增加表明，需要关注食品是否符合这些金属的最新最高限量。
