Implication

Systematic analysis reveals high aflatoxin levels in chicken organs, indicating serious food safety risks.

Key Points

  • Aflatoxins were found in 65.3% of chicken organ samples, raising food safety concerns.
  • Analysis showed the crop had the highest aflatoxin levels (4.33-12.74 ng/g), with regulatory limits maintained in most organs.
  • High-performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze 75 organ samples and 6 feed samples for aflatoxin content.
  • Identifying high-risk organs like the crop and liver highlights the need for targeted monitoring and regulation.
