All the samples were analyzed using the Atomic Flame Absorption Scale (7000 _ AASF) to identify concentrations of lead and cadmium elements. All results were reported with lead above the permissible limits, most of which showed the presence of cadmium being within the permissible limits. Lead and cadmium levels in samples examined in powdered milk were respectively (0.3778, 0.3699, 0.4719, 0.1817, 0.1582, 0.5582, 0.2837, 0.4327, 0.4405, 0.4562, 0.2758, 0.1268, 0.8619, 0.4444, 0.3542, 0.0061, 0.0001, 0.0006, 0.0111, 0.0101, 0.0511, 0.0051, 0.0098, 0.0009, 0.0011, 0.0069) (PPM); averages of lead and cadmium were assessed for powdered milk samples respectively (0.386+0.181) and all results were reported in liquid milk with lead, mostly above permitted limits. Most of the samples tested were reported to be cadmium, all within permitted limits and lead and cadmium levels in samples examined in liquid milk were reported. All the results showed the concentration of lead > cadmium and all the items studied and there were no moral differences between the samples studied for the single element, but there were moral differences between the elements studied and the values of the averages.
