Excessive accumulation of heavy metals in plant foods grown in contaminated areas can, therefore, seriously affect food quality and safety. The consumption of such foods presents a potential risk to global food security and healthy living. However, understanding the risk posed by these metals through the food chain is complicated by the fact that multiple sources are implicated in heavy metal exposure in food.
