Description
Mahmoud Ghuniem, Hoda Refai, and Khaled Rabie assess health risks from contaminants in Egyptian spices in work from 2025. They tested eighty samples from five regions for banned Sudan dyes, toxic metals, and pesticide traces.
Metals were found in nearly all samples, and lead went over limits in a small share of chili, paprika, and cumin samples. Two banned dyes appeared in all tested goods, with the highest level in curry, even though two other dyes were absent. Metal and pesticide exposure stayed within safe limits, but the banned dyes call for continued strict control.
