In this study, simultaneous exposure to bisphenols and toxic and potentially toxic elements from the consumption of ready-to-eat foods was assessed. In total, 120 different ready-to-eat foods purchased in different Sicilian supermarkets and online shops were analysed. BPA was detected in most of the analysed foods. Statistical analysis was performed, differentiating the samples according to geographical origin and packaging type. Good separation between European and non-European samples could be observed, with the former being characterised by lower levels of Cd and Pb, while the latter showed the highest concentrations of Pb and Cd, followed by Mn and Fe. The calculated estimated weekly intake (EWI) was well below the intake levels recommended by regulatory agencies, indicating that ready-to-eat foods can be safely consumed at expected dietary levels. However, the recently established tolerable daily intake (TDI) for BPA increases the risk quotient values to >1, indicating a risk to the consumer.
在本研究中，评估了食用即食食品时双酚类物质与有毒和潜在有毒元素的同时暴露情况。总共分析了在西西里岛不同超市和网上商店购买的120种不同的即食食品。在大多数分析的食品中都检测到了双酚A。进行了统计分析，根据地理来源和包装类型对样品进行区分。可以观察到欧洲和非欧洲样品之间有良好的分离，前者的特点是镉和铅含量较低，而后者的铅和镉浓度最高，其次是锰和铁。计算得出的估计每周摄入量（EWI）远低于监管机构建议的摄入水平，这表明在即食食品的预期饮食水平下可以安全食用。然而，最近确定的双酚A每日可耐受摄入量（TDI）使风险商值增加到>1，表明对消费者存在风险。
