Tin in the Diet

Typical Daily Intake

  • Dietary Range: The typical daily intake of tin (stannum) from food and beverages generally ranges between 1 mg and 15 mg per day for adults in industrialized nations.
  • Primary Sources:
  • Canned foods: Foods and acidic beverages preserved in unlacquered or partially coated tinned cans contribute the highest amounts due to leaching.
  • Unprocessed foods: Fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats contain much lower, trace amounts of naturally occurring tin, usually less than 0.5 mg per day.

Health and Toxicity Considerations

  • Low Absorption: Only a small fraction—typically less than 5% to 10%—of ingested inorganic tin is absorbed by the human gastrointestinal tract; the majority is rapidly excreted through feces.
  • Toxicity Threshold: Inorganic tin compounds have low toxicity, and acute adverse effects (such as gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, or vomiting) usually only occur at much higher intake levels, often exceeding 200 mg to 500 mg per day.
  • Organic Tin: Unlike inorganic tin found in canned goods, organic tin compounds (such as trimethyltin or tributyltin) are highly toxic and exposure typically occurs via industrial or agricultural sources rather than standard dietary intake.
