Providing the population with sufficient quantities of hygienically healthy food is the foundation of public health protection. According to the current BiH Law on Food, the main goal is to ensure a high level of human health protection, and the measures applied should be based on risk assessment. Regular food monitoring is one of the key public health problems, and this paper presents the quantitative risk of copper intake by consuming mint herbal tea infusions. The average copper concentration in the 20 analyzed samples of mint herbal tea infusions was 0.0028 ± 0.0125 mg / kg, while the value of the average daily intake was less than the oral reference dose for copper, so that the hazard coefficient itself was <1 , and consuming the analyzed infusions of herbal mint tea has no harmful effects on the health of the surveyed children.
