Abstract

Milk and dairy products stand as essential sources of nutrition across all age groups. However, the presence of Aflatoxin M1, particularly common and risky for young children, necessitates careful assessment of milk. This study, conducted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Aflatoxin M1 using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography in pasteurized milk and assess associated health risks using deterministic techniques. The prevalence of Aflatoxin M1 in pasteurized milk was 56.6%, with Aflatoxin M1 levels ranging from 0 to 6.27 μg/L and a mean value of 1.237 μg/L. The risk assessment revealed substantial Aflatoxin M1 exposure risk from pasteurized milk consumption, as reflected by margin of exposure values
