The study proved that the incidence percent of antibiotics, organophosphorus pesticides and arsenic were zero in all samples, zeranol percent in frankfurter was 0% while is detected in (25) samples of luncheon with mean (0.0732 ppb). Concerning trenbolone in luncheon and frankfurter with the same number of positive samples (50) for each with mean (0.2213) and (0.1776) ppb respectively. Detected residues of lead were present in 50 samples of luncheon and frankfurter with mean (0.0504) and (0.0165)ppm respectively. The cadmium was recorded in 50 samples of frankfurter with mean (0.0044 ppm), while were reported in luncheon with mean (0.0019 ppm). The zinc was recorded in (75 samples) of frankfurter with mean (0.597 ppm), while it was recorded in 50 samples of luncheon with mean (0.3839 ppm). The PP-DDT was recorded with highest level in luncheon with value (3.638 ppm) while PP.DDT with lower level was reported in frankfurter with value (1.69856 ppm). Methoxychlor was recorded only in luncheon with value (59.02398 ppm), but not detected in frankfurter. Aldrin was detected only in frankfurter with value (0.756 ppm).
