The aim of this study was to evaluate non‐dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL‐PCBs) and the health risk from butter samples using the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) modified method and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). A total of 60 traditional and industrial butter samples were collected from the local markets of Tehran, Iran, and were subjected to GC‐MS. The results showed that the mean concentration of total NDL‐PCBs in samples was 21.701 ± 9.02 ng/g fat. The amounts of PCBs in traditional butter samples were higher than in the industrial samples. PCB concentrations in all samples were lower than the European Union standard (40 ng/g fat). The 95th percentile incremental lifetime cancer risk of total NDL‐PCBs for children (1.79E−5) and adults (3.80E−6) was less than the acceptable risk level (10−4).

“…It is widely used in the Iranian food industry as an ingredient in confectionery products, bread, and pastries. Therefore, ensuring the mycotoxicological quality of sesame is very important (Asadi et al, 2011;Eghbaljoo-Gharehgheshlaghi et al, 2020;Elleuch et al, 2011;Kollia et al, 2016).…”

The contamination of aflatoxins (AFs) in 120 samples of sesame seeds, tahini, and tahini halva collected from Iran’s market were evaluated. The exposed risk due to ingestion of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) via their consumption was estimated with the aid of the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The highest prevalence of AF (55%) was associated with sesame seed samples, followed by tahini (45%) and tahini halva (32.5%). The AFB1 concentration in sesame seeds, tahini, and tahini halva was in the ranges of 0.21–12.35, 0.23–5.81, and 0.27–3.56 ?g/kg, respectively. The concentration of the total aflatoxin (TAF) in 7 (17.5%), 8 (20%), and 2 (5%) samples of sesame seeds, tahini, and tahini halva, respectively, was below the limit of European regulations (4 µg/kg), while the levels of AFB1 in 10 (25%), 7 (17.5%), and 6 (15%) samples of sesame seeds, tahini, and tahini halva, respectively, were higher than the European regulations (2 µg/kg). As the percentile 50 and 95 of margin of exposure (MOE) with AFB1 for sesame seed, tahini, and tahini halva was more than 10,000, it could conclude the intake of aflatoxin through the consumption of mentioned products did pose a not remarkable cancer risk for adults.
