“…Moreover, lower findings were reported in other countries such as Turkey [38] and Iran [9]. Higher contamination was however reported by other authors [39]- [43]. In Portugal [18] and Italy [44], yoghurt samples were also contaminated with low levels of AFM 1 .…”

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a major carcinogenic compound that may be found in milk and dairy products resulting from ingestion of aflatoxin B1 by dairy animals. The study aimed at determining the level of aflatoxin M1 in milk and milk products from Bomet County. A total of 185 samples (150 raw milk and 35 processed milk and milk products) were randomly collected from milk collection sites and randomly selected milk kiosks respectively. The AFM1 was analyzed using a commercial ELISA kit (Ridascreen, aflatoxin M1 R-Biopharm, Product code, R5812, Darmstadt, Germany). Out of 185 samples investigated, 156 samples were positive for AFM1, an overall contamination rate of 84.32%. The samples with levels higher than the tolerance limit of 0.05 μg/l recommended by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) limits were 43.8% mainly contributed by the raw milk compared to processed milk (52.0% versus 8.6%). Processed milk had insignificant level of contamination with aflatoxin M1 (Median 0.00 (IQR: 0.00, 0.00 μg/l) with a minimum of 0.00 μg/l and a maximum of 0.69 μg/l. Raw milk showed significant contamination, median 0.09 (IQR: 0.00, 0.50) μg/l with a minimum of 0.00 μg/l and a maximum of 2.93 μg/l. Although there was no significant differences in AFM1 levels with study sites (P = 0.217); the median levels of aflatoxin M1 was high in sites 1, 3, and 7. The sites that had median aflatoxin M1 levels below the WHO/FAO acceptable limits of 0.05 μg/l were sites 2, 4 and 6. Due to high incidence of AFM1 contamination of milk and milk samples in Bomet County, there is need for regular monitoring and regulation of AFM1 contamination in milk and its products in the County.

“…In the framework of the Project to Assess the Exposure of Catalonian Population to the Mycotoxins, and following the line of our previous studies (Cano-Sancho, Marín, Ramos, & Sanchis, 2009;Cano-Sancho, Marín, Ramos, Peris-Vicente, & Sanchis, 2010;Cano-Sancho, Gauchi, Sanchis, Marín, & Ramos, 2011;Cano-Sancho, Valle-Algarra et al, 2011), the objectives of this study were, to study the occurrence of AFs, DON, FBs and ZEA in ethnic and gluten-free food samples from Lleida (Spain), and also to assess the exposure of immigrant and celiac population to the selected mycotoxins.…”

“…The maximum mean concentrations of AFM1 recorded in winterspring season were in the range of 35.8-58.6 ng L -1 and in summer-autumn season in the range of 11.6-14.9 ng L -1 . Cano-Sancho et al (2010) found AFM1 occurrence in the main dairy products consumed, that is 94.4% (68/72) of whole UHT milk samples, in 2.8% (2/72) of yoghurt samples, but was not detected in cheese. The maximum level was detected in one yoghurt sample with 51.58 ng kg -1 .…”
