Determination of volatile nitrosamine levels in foods and estimation of their daily intake in Japan.
Volatile-nitrosamine levels were determined in fish, fish products, meat products, beer and cheese. From the amounts of nitrosamines detected in foods and the average daily intake of foods in Japan, the intake of nitrosamines was estimated to be 0.5 microgram/head/day. Most (88%) of the daily intake of nitrosamines came from seafoods.
