A total of 45 random samples of ready-to-eat shawerma, kofta and hamburger (15 of each) were collected from different restaurants in Kalyobia governorate to determine their heavy metal levels. Cadmium, lead and nickel were detected from 73.33%, 93.33% and 100% with mean values of 0.092 + 0.078 + 0,006 +0.028 ppm, in shawerma samples; 60%, 46.67% and 66.67% with mean values of 0.083 + 0.032 and 0.141 + 0.012 ppm in kofta samples and 54.33%, 73.33% and 80% with mean values of 0.046 + 0.005, 0.061 + 0.004 and 0.187 + 0.019 ppm in hamburger samples, respectively. Sources of contamiantion of meat products with these heavy metals, their public health hazards as well as recommendations to control these contaminants were discussed.
