This compilation is an update of the most recent publication that cited primary sources and their references of beverage and food aluminum concentration (Pennington, Aluminum content of foods and diets, 1988). It is provided to those who are interested in the aluminum content of what they drink and eat, how beverage and food preparation and storage affects aluminum content, and as source material for possible future studies. Listed values were obtained from no-charge sources available to the author. Please inform the author of errors and of sources that would add to this compilation. It is the author’s intention to update this compilation periodically.
