Toxic elements (Cd, Pb, and As) accumulate into the environment by industrialization and natural phenomena and then pass to organisms. Analysis of toxic elements in food must be accurately carried out on a regular basis so as to avoid any adverse impact. Salted foods are difficult samples and accurate analysis of As is not easy due to salt interference. In this study, analysis of As was carried without influence of salts in three types of salted foods via an analytical method, which was validated using spiking recovery experiments and by analyzing certified reference materials. As a result, toxic elements were detected in all samples but none of these exceeded the World Health Organization recommended limits. Among the As species, arsenobetaine (AsB) was the most abundant, while inorganic As was below the detection limit in all samples. All the analyzed salted food samples appeared to be safe for consumption. In addition, the analysis of sea shrimp, freshwater shrimp, and seawater verified As bioaccumulation in these organisms from the environment.
