Summary: This study assessed AFM1 levels in milk samples from four Moroccan cities in 2019, finding that 13.4% of samples were contaminated, with over half having AFM1 levels below the detection limit. The estimated exposure level of Moroccan adults to AFM1 from milk was higher than dietary intakes estimated by JECFA for Middle Eastern and African diets.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk and assess its human health risk in Kermanshah province, Iran. The results showed that the AFM1 level in raw milk during summer was higher than the European Union limit and posed a health risk for all age groups. Therefore, measures should be taken to reduce AFM1 levels in milk in Kermanshah province.

Summary: The study revealed that 78.6% of milk and dairy products in Bangladesh were contaminated with AFM(1) in concentrations ranging from 5.0 to 198.7 ng/L. However, yogurt and milk powder samples had lower levels of AFM(1) below the EU regulatory limit for milk. This highlights the need for further monitoring of aflatoxin contamination in milk and dairy products in Bangladesh.

Summary: The study found that milk samples from several nations such as Pakistan, India, and some sub-Saharan African countries had AFM1 levels that significantly exceeded the regulatory limits set by the United States and the European Union. This indicates a potential risk to individuals in those nations with high milk consumption. High levels of AFM1 in milk also suggest high levels of AFB1 in animal feed, which could potentially harm both animals and humans upon consumption.

Summary: The study assessed the level of aflatoxin M-1 (AFM(1)) in different milk products collected from producers, collectors, processors, and retailers, with raw milk showing the highest contamination levels. It is recommended to conduct consumer health risk assessment studies for accurate information on potential health risks associated with the consumption of these dairy products.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis on the concentration and prevalence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in different types of milk from 199 articles, revealing differences in AFM1 concentration in raw and pasteurized milk from various countries and livestock types. Strict monitoring and control of AFM1 in milk and dairy products is essential for public health.

Summary: This study investigated the level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM) in different types of milk in a specific area and assessed the risk of consuming these milks. Results showed that all samples tested were contaminated and had the potential to pose a risk of liver cancer to consumers, indicating the need for educational control and monitoring measures.

Summary: This study determined the AFM1 levels in breast milk samples collected from mothers who gave birth in Kirsehir, Turkey. The results showed that the AFM1 levels in breast milk were lower in mothers who did not consume milk, mothers consuming fabrication milk had lower AFM1 levels compared to mothers consuming homemade milk (p<0.01), and mothers consuming homemade or self-made bread had lower AFM1 levels (p<0.05).

Summary: A meta-analysis of 107 articles (297 studies with 16,274 milk samples) was conducted to determine the average level of aflatoxin M1 in various types of milk. The study analyzed the impact of milk varieties, geographical regions, seasons, detection techniques, and dairy farming subgroups on aflatoxin M1 contamination. The findings revealed that the overall content of aflatoxin M1 in milk samples of Iran was lower than the allowed levels in the European Union, Iran, and the USA, possibly due to effective milk monitoring by the Iranian regulatory systems.

Summary: The study found that 35.6% of milk and dairy products sold in retail markets of Chhattisgarh, India contained AFM(1), with 94.2% of positive samples having concentrations above the maximum permissible limits established by the European Commission. The research suggests a high health risk and the need for stronger food safety regulation.

Summary: This study investigated the contamination of Aflatoxin-M1 (AFM1) in pasteurized and raw milk samples consumed in Kerman and Rafsanjan, southeastern Iran. The majority of samples were found to contain AFM1, with the contamination level being significantly higher in pasteurized milk compared to raw milk. Some samples exceeded the maximum permitted limits recommended by the European Union and Iran, posing a higher risk of exposure for children. Preventing milk contamination at all stages, from the farm to the table, is crucial in reducing the community's exposure to AFM1 and its associated health risks.

Summary: In this study, the occurrence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in total mixed rations (TMR) and aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in raw and commercial milk in northern China during winter season was investigated. Results showed that all samples from northern China were below the legal limit for AFB1 and AFM1 in raw and commercial milk, with only about 30% of samples exceeding the EU legal limit. However, the northwest area of China had higher AFM1 levels and variance in milk samples, indicating a need for more attention to aflatoxin contamination in this region.

Summary: The study found that the accumulation of metals and metalloids in Capoeta damascina fish could pose a threat to human health, but the high Se/Hg ratio helps mitigate the harmful effects of Hg. Adults consuming 7 meals per week or more should pay particular attention to the potential carcinogenic risks associated with the accumulation of As and Ni.
