Introduction
Jamaica, a net exporter of coffee, has in recent years seen the importation of soluble coffee increase from 16,872 kg in 2010 to 36,419 kg in 20131. With the expanded local market for soluble coffee and its products and a significant portion of this demand being supplied by importation the aim of the study was to determine dietary exposure of the Jamaican public to heavy metals and trace elements through consumption of soluble coffee.
