ABSTRACT
Meat is a highly nutritious food but there is a lot of significant evidence of negative health outcomes related to its excessive consumption, especially for processed one. Among the variety of emerging contaminants of concern for human health, a key role is played by poly- and per-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), which show adverse effects in humans who are exposed to them through diet. In the present study, for the first time, 70 paired batches of pre-cooked and canned bovine meat were analysed by Liquid Chromatography coupled to High Resolution Mass Spectrometry to evaluate the presence and concentration of 18 PFASs. These data were used to assess Italian consumers' health risks by performing the PFAS intake evaluation. PFBA and PFOS were detected in the precooked and canned meat samples, with PFBA mean concentration of 0.22 ± 0.36 ng g-1, and Key words
