INCHEMAflatoxin M1 review
|
...The European Community supports the
maximum level of 0.05 μg/kg for aflatoxin M1 in liquid
milk...
...there is sufficient
evidence that
aflatoxin M1 is a genotoxic carcinogen; its
carcinogenic potency is estimated to be
approximately 10 times lower than aflatoxin B1...
