Abstract
Expression of concern for ‘ZnO nanoparticles affect intestinal function in an in vitro model’ by Fabiola Moreno-Olivas et al., Food Funct., 2018, 9, 1475–1491.
The following article ‘ZnO nanoparticles affect intestinal function in an in vitro model’ by Fabiola Moreno-Olivas, Elad Tako and Gretchen J. Mahler has been published in Food & Function. The article reports that the amount of zinc present in canned food is above the recommended dietary allowance.
The Royal Society of Chemistry has been contacted by the authors to inform us that the data within the paper is not reliable.
Food & Function is publishing this expression of concern to alert readers. An investigation is underway, and this notice will be updated when a final outcome is reached.
