Abstract

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a compound used in food contact materials that has gained importance due to its endocrine-disrupting effects. In this study, BPA levels were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD) method in a total of 56 canned food samples (33 tuna - Group I; 13 other fish - Group II; 10 meat-chicken-turkey - Group III) belonging to 23 different companies purchased from supermarkets and online sales platforms across Türkiye. Consumer exposure and potential public health risk were also evaluated. Mean BPA levels were determined as 12.44±2.34 μg/kg (<LOD-51.94), 15.50±10.08 μg/kg (<LOQ-130.51) and 11.23±6.62 μg/kg (0.54-69.61) in Group I, II and III, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups and plain and oil- or sauce-packed (p>0.05). Sex-specific estimated daily intake values ranged from 0.0033-0.0052 μg/kg body weight/day and exceeded the current tolerable daily intake in all groups. In conclusion, it has been determined that BPA is commonly found in the canned foods examined and that exposure from these products should be considered for public health reasons.
