Article Abstract
Histamine is one of the most important health issues associated with consumption of canned tuna because of possible allergic and anaphylactic reactions in consumers. Although the concentrations of histamine in tuna in Iran have been investigated in several studies, definitive conclusions are elusive. This study was undertaken as a systematic review and meta-analysis of the concentration and prevalence of histamine in Iranian canned tuna, and the related health risk was assessed. An extensive search of articles in the databases Scopus, PubMed, and Scientific Information Database resulted in 11 articles and a total of 693 samples for inclusion in this review. The minimum and maximum concentrations of histamine were determined as 8.59 ± 14.24 and 160.52 ± 87.59 mg kg, respectively. The mean concentration was calculated as 77.86 mg kg (95% confidence interval [CI], 47.51 to 108.21 mg kg), which was lower than the 200 mg kg recommended limit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The mean prevalence of histamine was 9.19% (95%; CI, 6.88 to 11.5%). The 95% value of the target hazard quotient for adult consumers was calculated as 0.10. In all studies performed in Iran, the concentration of histamine in canned tuna was lower than FDA standard. Health risk assessment indicated low histamine risk (target hazard quotient < 1) for adults in Iran from consumption of canned tuna.

The presence of Histamine is generally used as an indicator of the good manufacturing practice and of the preservation state of canned tuna. This product is widely used as an ingredient in the catering trade with frequent incorrect storage conditions and likely postprocessing contamination causing Histamine production. In this study, we have applied a rapid ELISA screening method for the quantitative determination of Histamine in canned tuna used as an ingredient in the catering trade.

is a high-priority foodborne pathogen contributing to several food poisoning outbreaks. Methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant (MRSA and VRSA), pose significant public health concerns due to their potential for serious illness, antibiotic resistance, and transmission within both healthcare and community settings. These bacteria can cause numerous infections, ranging from skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening conditions like bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and endocarditis.

This study evaluated the authenticity of olive oil in canned tuna products from the Slovenian market using both official methods, including fatty acid (FA) profiling, determination of the equivalent carbon number difference (ΔECN42), and sterol analysis, and an advanced method: stable carbon isotope analysis (δC) of FAs obtained through compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA). Results from both methods confirmed that all 10 samples were authentic, as per the limits set by EU Regulation 2022/2104 and supported by the scientific literature. Method performance was further evaluated by adulterating the olive oil from the canned tuna with 5-20% vegetable oil (VO) or hazelnut oil (HO).

Objective: To estimate the within-households association between change in income over time and food purchases in a national panel of households. The need to shift towards healthy and sustainable diets is widely recognised, thus the importance of identifying the factors that influence food purchase decisions.
Design: Longitudinal observational study; for each of the thirty-three food items queried, we ran a conditional logistic fixed-effect regression model to evaluate the association between change in income per-capita and food purchases (yes/no) during the past week, adjusted by covariates.
