- Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in dairy product samples in Burdur city. A total of 315 samples of dairy products were collected during 2008. Of the 315 samples analysed, AFM1 in 246 samples (78.1%) was found to range from 5.5 to 800 ng/kg. In addition, AFM1 levels of 16 raw milk, two pasteurised milk, only one milk powder and three white cheese samples were above the Turkish Food Codex. It is concluded that the occurrence of AFM1 in dairy products may be considered as a possible hazard for public health.
