Abstract
Retraction of ‘ZnO nanoparticles affect intestinal function in an in vitro model’ by Fabiola Moreno-Olivas et al., Food Funct., 2018, 9, 1475–1491.
I, the corresponding author, hereby wholly retract this Food & Function article. It has come to our attention that a mistake was made in the calculations and therefore the reported findings presented on the zinc (Zn) coming from canned food are unreliable. This is a result of honest errors made in the data analysis.
The claim in the article that the Zn coming from canned food exceeded the recommended dietary allowance is no longer supported and the data related to the amount of Zn present in canned food presented in this article should be disregarded. As such, it is now believed that the levels of predicted Zn coming from canned food are within the recommended dietary allowance.
This retraction supersedes the information provided in the Expression of Concern related to this article.
