Abstract
The tin contents of fruits or vegetables and of their juices according to different types of packaging (lacquered cans, unlacquered cans or bottled cans) were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spect rometry (ICP-MS). Tin levels in foods preserved in unlacquered cans wa s significantly higher (p < 0.01) than in those preserved in lacquered or bottled cans. These levels are comparable with those responsible f or nutritional disorders in animal.
