Carcinogen Aflatoxin detected in FSSAI milk survey samples -Meenakshi Sushma

-Down to Earth

The highest rates of aflatoxin contamination were found in Delhi, Tamil Nadu and Kerala

Traces of Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), a deadly carcinogen, were found in some of the milk samples tested as part of a national survey by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

The final results of the milk survey were released on October 18, 2019.

Out of the 6,432 total milk samples that were tested, 368 (5.7 per cent) were found to have aflatoxins beyond permissible limits.

The highest rates of aflatoxin contamination were found in Tamil Nadu (88 out of 551 samples), Delhi (38 out of 262 samples) and Kerala (37 out of 187 samples). The carcinogen was found to be more prevalent in processed rather than raw milk.
