The average AFM1 concentration in ice cream was 29.79 ng/L. According to the results, in 12.62% of samples, AFM1 levels exceeded the maximum European Union (EU) limits for adults (50 ng/mL). This study recommends regular monitoring of AFM1 concentration in ice cream in Iran.Conclusion: Results of this study indicate the need to develop a database to assist law enforcement agencies, traders, and policymakers in local governments to minimize or prevent health-related risks caused by AFM1.}, keywords = {Aflatoxin M1,Ice cream,Immunoaffinity}, url = {https://jaehr.muk.ac.ir/article_145253.html}, eprint = {https://jaehr.muk.ac.ir/article_145253_4c97199445281fff276601f792b403eb.pdf} }
