Overview

Meta-analysis reveals 68.2% prevalence of aflatoxin M1 in cow milk, highlighting significant health risks to children.

Key Points

  • Pooled prevalence of aflatoxin M1 is 68.184%, indicating a major public health concern in Ethiopia.
  • Estimated mean concentration of aflatoxin M1 is 0.316µg/L, exceeding the EU standard but below local limits.
  • Meta-regression found analysis techniques explain over 36% of prevalence heterogeneity; subtype analysis supports significant differences.
  • Children aged 6 months to 2 years have an estimated daily intake of 5.62µg/Kg/day AFM1, indicating serious health risks.
