Thirty three of (table ready) diets were collected from cafeterias and restaurants in great Cairo during the year 2002. the study depends on the national food consumption data from the Institute of Nutrition, Ministry of Health. The overall results show that there is no significant environmental contamination of the average Egyptian diet. Organochlorine pesticide residues show no dietary intake while organophosphorus contaminates the diet at very low amount from chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-me and profenophos. Concerning the contamination of the total diet by heavy metals as general reveals no exceeding for the coitesponding PMADI or PTWI established by the world Health Origination (WHO). The contamination of the diet by Cu, Cd, and Pb waas 3.7 % , 3.5 % and 3.2 % respectively while nitrates contributed with 25.7 % of the ADI. In conclusion we can consider the studies diets as safe and clean taking into consideration that daily intake of potato chips, liver, falafel and medames should be decreased its daily intakes.
