Polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in foods and environment and possess carcinogenic and mutagenic potential. Foods are the main source of exposure to PAHs in the general population. In this study, we determined the concentrations of 16 European Union priority PAHs in 1,564 foodstuffs acquired from nine provinces and commonly consumed by the Chinese population. The most predominant PAH was chrysene (16.7%), followed by benz[a]anthracene (12.4%) and benzo[b]fluoranthene (11.7%). Edible vegetable oils (17.89 μg/kg) and fruits (1.97 μg/kg) had the highest and lowest concentrations of total PAHs, respectively. Suitable indicators of PAH contamination in foods were assessed based on the occurrence of other PAHs in samples negative for benzo[a]pyrene and the correlation for the PAHs and their combinations. According to our results, PAH4 was a suitable indicator, better than PAH8 and benzo[a]pyrene alone. PAH exposure in the Chinese population was estimated by combining contamination data with national individual food consumption data, based on the middle bound approach. The overall average dietary exposures for BaP and PAH4 were 3.08 and 17.61 ng/kg bw/day, respectively. The major contributors to the total dietary exposure of PAHs were cereals (39%), edible vegetable oils (28%), and vegetables (20%). We used the margin of exposure (MOE) approach to assess health risk for consumers. MOEs of the mean estimated dietary exposures were &gt;10,000, indicating a low concern for the health of the general population and of consumers of smoked, grilled, or barbecued foods. For high consumers and children, the MOEs were &lt;10,000, indicating potential concerns.
