Abstract

Dairy products must be free of physical, biological, and chemical contaminants in order to be safe for food
consumption. Heavy metals: lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc, copper, arsenic, iron and chromium comes via
water, grass, feed additives, pharmaceuticals, and farm equipment. Contamination of milk and dairy products
can impact food quality and safety. This study compares heavy metal contamination in cream, cheese and
yogurt samples collected from local traditional farmers in the region of Kastriot (Obiliq). Microwave digestion
system was used for sample preparation prior to their analysis. The analysis of heavy metals was performed
using plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) technique. Dairy products must be free of physical,
