This review examines the carcinogenic risks associated with metabolites from foodborne pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. It discusses the toxins' mechanisms, including DNA damage and immune evasion, and highlights detection challenges. Emphasis is placed on the need for advanced analytical tools, preventive measures, and policy frameworks to mitigate risks. The study calls for further research on underexplored pathogens and their metabolites' effects on cancer progression.
