- W4210832091 abstract "Vegetables are one of the classes of foods that importantly contribute to the whole health and wellbeing of its consumers. It benefits the human body with important nutrients and help in reducing kind of chronic diseases. Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are generally becoming more popular even in the developing world due to change in lifestyles. One of the most usually RTE food consumed in the northern Nigeria is road side salad that is arranged with vegetables usually lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) or Cress (Lepidium sativum Linn.) as the main components with the addition of tomato, onion and carrot. However, the consumption of RTE foods promote severe safety threats as vegetables prove well-known trace element and heavy metals (HMs) some of which are essential for good health while some are toxic. HMs include lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and platinum (Pt). Different sources through which vegetables can be contaminated with these HMs are natural sources, agricultural sources, industrial sources, domestic effluent, atmospheric sources and other sources. Ingestion of vegetables containing HMs is one of the major means in which these elements enter human body. Once entered, HMs is dumped in bone and fat tissues, overlapping noble minerals. Slowly released into the body, HMs can cause an array of diseases. Thus, the essence of this study is to review the safety of the RTE vegetable salads, assessing the contamination level of some dangerous HMs present. As RTE salads can be contaminated with different types HMs that makes them unsafe for human consumption, regulatory bodies should design a periodic workshop training for RTE foods hawkers to help fix the problems and enhance the effectiveness of RTE vegetables salads preparation. Public awareness on the serious health risk associated with mishandled prepared insignificantly processed RTE foods most especially vegetable salads should be considered." @default.
