Dietary Exposure to Toxic Levels of Metals from Food Milling Equipment in Sub-Saharan Africa

2026-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Food milling and grinding are integral to staple food preparation across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The locally fabricated, non-food-grade metallic equipment predominantly used for this purpose constitutes a systematic and under-recognized source of dietary metal exposure. This scoping review maps the quantitative evidence on machine-derived metal contamination, and estimates...
