Article Synopsis
- Seaweeds are rich in iodine and can accumulate contaminants, making them important in evaluating dietary risks for the French population.
- This study assessed dietary exposure to iodine and trace elements from seaweeds, finding that while they contribute significantly to iodine intake (up to 33%), they only minimally contribute to total dietary exposure to harmful contaminants like cadmium, mercury, and arsenic.
- New recommended maximum limits for these contaminants in seaweeds were proposed to ensure safety, significantly lower than current levels (e.g., 1 mg/kg for cadmium).
