--- In Peru there are no rules on permissible levels of toxins in food, especially on heavy metals for human consumption. This study has found that the values of lead and mercury exceed the maximum limits allowed by Mexican standards, 0,1 ppm and 0,03 ppm, respectively, whereas the values of cadmium, are below the maximum values permitted by Mexican Standard 0,05 ppm. The values found on lead vary between 0.16 ppm and 1.359 ppm, with an average of 0.626 ppm in the clear; 0.1266 ppm and 1.2653 ppm, with an average of 0.664 ppm in the yolk and 0.16 ppm and 1.28 ppm, with an average of 0.684 ppm in the whole egg. The values for cadmium vary between 0.0003 ppm and 0.009 ppm, with an average of 0.004 ppm in the clear; 0.0001 ppm and 0.009 ppm, with an average of 0.0035 ppm and yolk 0.00035 and 0.00714 ppm with an average of 0.0030 ppm on the whole egg. The values found on mercury vary between: 0.093 ppm and 1.557 ppm, with an average of 0.521 ppm in the clear; 0.125 ppm and 0.954 ppm, with an average of 0.258 ppm in the yolk and 0.1092 ppm and 1.1092 ppm, with an average of 0.4366 ppm on the whole egg. Keywords: Egg, yolk, white, lead, mercury, cadmium.
