- W2247477899 abstract "Chemical contamination of meat through the use of scrap tyre for singeing as the processing method is a major issue of concern for food safety and public health in Ghana. The study examined the reasons for the use of scrap tyres for meat singeing in Akropong-Akuapem and the possibilities of heavy metal contamination. Four butchers operating the Abattoir in the Municipal capital were purposively sampled and interviewed using interview guide. Samples of freshly unwashed, washed and boiled meat singed with the scrap tyres were taken for laboratory analysis for selected heavy metals. Three different samples of goat meat and beef were used for the study. It was revealed that butchers used the scrap tyres because they were cheap source of fuel for singeing and easily accessible. The results of heavy metal analysis indicated high levels of Fe, Cu, Zn and Cd in the meat of goat and cattle samples but Hg was however low in all the sampled meat. Consumers of meat singed with scrap tyres are exposed to ingestion of heavy metals. This threatens meat safety and public health protection and promotion. An assessment of human health risk associated with such meat is recommended. Key Words : Heavy Metals, Akropong-Akuapem, Singeing meat and Contamination" @default.
