Abstract
Due to their nutritional value, milk products are popular in Iran. However, aflatoxin M-1 (AFM(1)) in milk and dairy products is considered to pose certain hygienic risks for human health. This study was undertaken to determine the occurrence of aflatoxin M-1 in 50 yoghurt samples from 2 dairy factories in summer 2008 and Winter 2009. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique-was used for the analysis of yoghurt samples. Aflatoxin M-1 was found 70 in the yoghurt samples, ranging from 21.1 to 137.6 ng/kg. Toxin level is 17.14 of the samples exceeded the Iranian national Standard limit i.e. 50 ng/kg; Also, statistically significant Seasonal effect was found for yoghurt samples. The result showed that the contamination of the yoghurt in such a level could be a serious public health problem.
