                                According to a 2023 study in *PLOS ONE*, researchers found that certain heavy metals, including lead and copper, exceeded maximum allowable concentrations in some chicken products in Bangladesh, highlighting that chicken can have heavy metals. This discovery underscores the importance of understanding contamination risks in the food supply.
