The risk assessment conducted by the European Food Safety Authority stated some concerns regarding the chronic exposure of the European population to nickel due to food intake. This study aimed to evaluate the extent of the Belgian population’s exposure to nickel via intake of different foods/drinks available in their market. Ni concentrations were measured in selected foods consumed in Belgium, and exposures from this limited group of foods were estimated for consumers of these foods. Legumes, soy products, breakfast cereals, and chocolate spreads were responsible for 26%, 14%, 11% and 8% of the overall exposure (overall chronic exposure through consuming all the included food types in this study except tap water) of children (3–9 years) to nickel. For adolescents (10–17 years), the highest percentage of overall chronic exposure again originated from legumes (19%). This was followed by breakfast cereals (14%), soy products (11%) and chocolate spreads (11%). For adults (18–64 years), major contributors to ...
