For that reasons, the hygiene of food is very important in order to prevent the health's problems. Ironically, there is much food circulated in the society which is unsecured to be consumed lately. Especially it is because of the metal contamination such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd). If those metals come into the human's body through food which is consumed by human, it can make the nerve system troubles, brain damage, paralysis, growth resistance, kidney damage, bone fragility and DNA damage or cancer. Abstrak:Makanan adalah kebutuhan pokok manusia yang secara langsung berperan meningkatkan kesehatan sehingga mampu melakukan kegiatan sehari-hari secara baik. Untuk itulah keamanan makanan menjadi sangat penting agar tidak menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan. Tetapi ironisnya, belakangan ini banyak makanan yang beredar di masyarakat tidak terjamin lagi keamanannya. Khususnya karena terkontaminasi logam-logam berat seperti timbel (Pb), merkuri Hg), arsen (As) dan kadmium (Cd). Padahal bila logam-logam tersebut masuk ke dalam tubuh lewat makanan, selain akan menganggu system saraf, kerusakan otak, kelumpuhan, pertumbuhan terhambat, kerusakan ginjal, kerapuhan tulang dan kerusakan DNA atau kanker. Kata Kunci: kontaminasi, logam berat, dampak kesehatan.
