“…According to Elsayed and Abdelfatah [19] and Temamogullari and Kanici [20], AFM1 was detected in both yoghurt and processed cheese samples in lower percentage, while Iqbal and Asi [21] detected the toxin in both products with higher percentage than our results. Regarding Domiati cheese, 46.7% of the samples were contaminated with AFM1 with levels ranged between 22.60 -74.23 ng/kg and a mean value of 47.68 ± 6.94.…”

Aflatoxins (AFs) are toxic and carcinogenic metabolites produced by a variety of fungi. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is the major carcinogenic type frequently found in milk and dairy products, thus posing a significant impact on human health. The current study was undertaken to examine milk and some dairy products for contamination with AFM1 in local markets, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, as well as the effect of manufacture. A total of 75 samples (15, each) of raw milk, pasteurized milk, yoghurt, processed cheese and Domiati cheese were randomly collected. AFM1 was detected in 27 (36%) out of the examined samples in which the level of AFM1 exceeded the limits (0 ng/L, kg) allowed by Egyptian regulation but only 6 (8%) samples exceeded the limits (50 ng/L, kg) allowed by European Commission regulation. Levels of AFM1 contamination in the examined milk and dairy products with mean values of 35.68 ± 10.90, 45.83 ± 7.80, 7.57 ± 1.92, 24.53 ± 3.91 and 42 ± 4.93 ng/L, kg in raw milk, pasteurized milk, yoghurt, processed cheese and Domiati cheese, respectively, were detected. The level of AFM1 decreased after yoghurt manufactur, while, cheese manufacture showed concentration of AFM1in curd than those in cheese milk. During refrigeration storage of yoghurt, the mean AFM1 toxin decreased after one, two, three, seven days, respectively, then nearly similar level from seven days to fourteen days of storage. In conclusion, widespread presence of AFM1 in raw milk and some dairy products were considered to be possible hazards for public health especially children therefore, continuous monitoring of AFM1 level in commonly marketed raw milk and dairy products in Sharkia markets should be regularly done. Manufacture and storage had little effect on AFM1 content in milk and dairy products, therefore, new or modern technologies for detoxification of milk should be further studied.

“…In the study by Berhanu et al (under preparation), spiked samples have been used as reference material, with recovery above 70%, but this is lower compared to the study by Ismail et al ( 2017 ) where recovery was between 94 and 100%, using the same kit. The same ELISA has been used by several other studies including to test fermented milk samples (Temamogullari and Kanici 2014 ; Farah Nadira et al 2017 ). Yoghurt was not spiked in this study, but other studies have found the recovery rates of spiked yoghurt samples being lower than milk samples (Kim et al 2000 ).…”

Aflatoxin M1 levels in different marketed milk products in Nairobi, Kenya

2018

Milk is an important source of energy and nutrients, especially for children, and in Kenya, milk consumption is higher than other countries in the region. One major concern with milk is the risks of chemical contaminants, and reports of high levels of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk in Kenya has been causing public health concerns. This study collected marketed milk products every month during 1 year, just as a consumer would purchase them from retailers and traders in a low-income area, and a major supermarket in a middle/high-income area. In total, 291 sampled milk products (raw, pasteurised, UHT milk, yoghurt and lala) were collected and analysed for AFM1 using a commercial ELISA kit. More than 50% of the samples exceeded 50 ng/kg (the level allowed in the EU), but only three samples exceeded 500 ng/kg (the level allowed in the USA). Geometric mean AFM1 level was 61.9 ng/kg in the 135 samples from the low-income area while it was 36.1 ng/kg in the 156 from the higher income area (p < 0.001). The levels varied significantly depending on the time of year, with lowest levels of milk in January. There were also differences between manufacturers and products, with UHT milk having lower levels. There was no difference depending on the price for all dairy products, but when only including milk, higher price was associated with lower levels of AFM1. In conclusion, this study shows that milk purchased by a consumer is likely to contain AFM1 above 50 ng/kg, and that further research is needed to find ways to mitigate AFM1 contamination through working with farmers and milk processors both in the formal and informal sectors.

“…The relationship between aflatoxin concentrations in food and acute illness (i.e., aflatoxicosis) has been established and has led to regulatory limits in many countries, but little is known about specific threshold levels associated with other adverse health effects (Strosnider et al, 2006). While a number of studies in certain countries (e.g., Brazil, China, Sudan, and Turkey) have reported aflatoxin levels in dairy products exceeding recommended or regulatory limits (Bahrami et al, 2015;Bilandžić et al, 2014;Elzupir & Elhussein, 2010;Iha et al, 2011;Raul et al, 2012;Temamogullari & Kanici, 2014;Xiong et al, 2018), the risk to human health is not clear. It has been estimated that aflatoxin exposure in nuts and maize may play a causative role in anywhere from 4.6-28.2% of global hepatocellular carcinoma, or liver cancer, cases (Liu & Wu, 2010).…”

A Review of Potential Public Health Impacts Associated With the Global Dairy Sector

et al. 2020

Strong demand for dairy products has led to a global increase in dairy production. In many parts of the world, dairy systems are undergoing rapid intensification. While increased production may contribute to food security, higher dairy stocking rates in some regions have resulted in increased pressure on natural resources with the potential to affect public health and wellbeing. The aim of this review was to identify and describe the potential health harms and benefits associated with dairy production and consumption. Electronic databases Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched for published literature that investigated human health impacts of dairy production and consumption. Occupational hazards, environmental health impacts, ecosystem health impacts, foodborne hazards, and diet‐related chronic diseases were identified as potential public health hazards. Some impacts, notably climate change, extend beyond directly exposed populations. Dairy production and consumption are also associated with important health benefits through the provision of nutrients and economic opportunities. As the global dairy sector increases production, exposure to a range of hazards must be weighed with these benefits. The review of impacts presented here can provide an input into decision making about optimal levels of dairy production and consumption, local land use, and identification and management of specific hazards from this sector. Future research should consider multiple exposure routes, socioeconomic implications, and environmental factors, particularly in regions heavily dependent on dairy farming.
