Abstract

Consuming marine invaders is increasingly recognized as an effective strategy for controlling their populations. Following European legislation (Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 on novel foods), it is crucial to ensure that these invasive species are safe for consumption. This study presents the first screening of potential contaminants in gonad samples of Diadema setosum, an invasive sea urchin species, offering a snapshot of contamination levels. The study analyzed Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Marine biotoxins (MBs), and a broad spectrum of inorganic elements, including heavy metals. The results showed that all analyzed contaminants were significantly below the maximum limits set for regulated fishery products in Europe, though some concerns arose from the levels of cadmium (Cd) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) detected in certain specimens. These preliminary findings underscore the need for more extensive investigations into D. setosum contaminant levels to ensure the safety of potential consumption.

海洋入侵者的安全食用：欧洲新食品标准框架下的斑蝶藻污染水平快照。

吃掉海洋入侵者越来越被认为是控制其数量的有效策略。根据欧洲立法（关于新型食品的法规（EU） 2015/2283），确保这些入侵物种可以安全食用至关重要。本研究首次筛选了入侵海胆物种Diadema setosum的生殖腺样本中潜在的污染物，提供了污染水平的快照。该研究分析了全氟烷基物质（PFASs）、多氯联苯（PCBs）、海洋生物毒素（mb）以及包括重金属在内的广泛无机元素。结果表明，所有分析的污染物都大大低于欧洲受管制渔业产品规定的最大限度，尽管在某些标本中检测到镉（Cd）和全氟辛酸（PFOA）的水平引起了一些关注。这些初步研究结果强调需要对龙葵的污染物水平进行更广泛的调查，以确保潜在消费的安全性。

期刊介绍： Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A publishes original research papers and critical reviews covering analytical methodology, occurrence, persistence, safety evaluation, detoxification and regulatory control of natural and man-made additives and contaminants in the food and animal feed chain. Papers are published in the areas of food additives including flavourings, pesticide and veterinary drug residues, environmental contaminants, plant toxins, mycotoxins, marine biotoxins, trace elements, migration from food packaging, food process contaminants, adulteration, authenticity and allergenicity of foods. Papers are published on animal feed where residues and contaminants can give rise to food safety concerns. Contributions cover chemistry, biochemistry and bioavailability of these substances, factors affecting levels during production, processing, packaging and storage; the development of novel foods and processes; exposure and risk assessment.
