Target Information
While trivalent chromium is an essential trace element required for normal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in animals, hexavalent chromium is a highly toxic heavy metal and a known carcinogen. Contaminated animal feed and water can lead to the bioaccumulation of chromium in animal tissues, particularly in the liver, kidneys, and muscles, as well as excretion into milk and eggs. Consuming these contaminated animal-derived foods poses significant health risks to humans, potentially causing kidney damage, gastrointestinal cancers, and systemic toxicity. Therefore, monitoring chromium levels in animal products is a critical aspect of food safety.
