According to
Ledesma, Rendueles, and Díaz (2016) the maximum benzo[a]pyrene
(BaP) content found in various studies mainly falls below the
maximum value currently allowed by European Union regulations
(2.0 mg/kg), however, a high concentration of BaP is still found in
smoked meat products around the world, therefor it is still
important to control and study manufacturing conditions in order
to minimize PAHs contamination of smoked meat products
