Our results indicate that HCA levels in RTE meat products are generally low, but some items (e.g. rotisserie chicken) may contain elevated amounts of HCAs. Thus, we conclude that consumption of RTE meat products contributes very little to HCA intake. Taken together, our results show that cooking conditions and ingredients influence HCA levels in RTE meat products. These results can be used along with dietary assessments to estimate HCA exposure due to consumption of RTE meat products.
