from the ingestion of 0.3g of seasonings and culinary condiments for infants, school children, under graduate and
adults
3 Conclusions
The contents of most of the metals were below the values recommended for food additives such as spices. The
estimated daily intakes from the ingestion of the metals through seasonings and culinary condiments were below
tolerable level for each of the metals. Target hazard quotients were also <1 indicating no health risk concern for
Zn, Cr and Pb; few of the samples were >1 for Mn and Cu; majority of the samples were >1 with regard to Co and
