Surveillance and control of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1,G2 and M1 in foodstuffs in the republic of Cyprus : 1992-1996.

Aflatoxins in locally produced and imported foodstuffs in Cyprus were monitored and controlled systematically and effectively from 1992-1996.  Samples with total aflatoxins above the Cyprus maximum level (ML) of 10 ug/kg fluctuated between 0.7 and 6.9% of all samples.  The results indicate the effectiveness of monitoring, as well as the need for constant surveillance and control, especially at critical control points such as sites of import and primary storae.  The highest incidence of aflatoxin contamination was observed in peanut butter (56.7%) and the highest levels of AFB1 was found in peanuts (700ug/kg).  Levels of AFM1 in raw and pasteurised milk analysed in 1993, 1995 and 1996 were within both the Cyprus ML (0.5ug/L) and the lower ML (0.05ug/L) of some European countries.  Only 12% of samples had detectable levels of AFM1.
