The contamination of fresh meat and meat products like sausages with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is a worldwide health concern. Consequently, the related investigations concerning the levels of PTEs in sausages among databases such as Scopus, Cochrane, and PubMed were investigated 1 January 2000 to 20 August 2020. Furthermore, the concentration of PTEs in sausages was meta-analyzed based on the random effect model (REM). The findings indicated that the rank order of PTEs in sausage was Fe (432.154 g/kg) \textgreater Cu (152.589 g/kg) \textgreater Zn (93.813 g/kg) \textgreater Cr (6.040 g/kg) \textgreater Pb (1.524 g/kg) \textgreater Ni (0.525 g/kg) \textgreater Cd (0.115 g/kg) \textgreater As (0.066 g/kg). Our results showed that the PTE concentration in sausages was lower than the permitted limit except for Pb in samples reported from Nigeria, China, and Turkey. Therefore, continuous monitoring of PTEs in such products was recommended.
