    The objective of this study was to quantify lead and cadmium in chicken gizzards sold at the Caquetá Market – San Martín de Porres during the period from October to December 2014. Thirty chicken gizzard samples were collected from different vendors in the market. The method used for the quantification of lead and cadmium in chicken gizzards was Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry with a Graphite Furnace. The average lead concentration was 0.630 mg Pb/kg, with extreme values of 0.89 mg/kg, exceeding the maximum limits established by the Codex Alimentarius and the European Union in 87% of the samples. The average cadmium concentration was 0.20 mg Cd/kg, with extreme values of 0.29 mg/kg, exceeding the maximum limits reported in the study from Egypt in 100% of samples and in the Malaysian study in 90% of samples. In conclusion, the analyzed samples contain heavy metals, representing a potential health risk for consumers.
