Locally produced commercial apple products purchased from retail outlets in South Africa were surveyed for the presence of patulin from 1996 to 1998. Twenty-three of the 31 fruit juice samples had no detectable patulin contamination. The eight contaminated juice samples had patulin concentrations in the range 5-45 mg/L. with a mean of 10 mg/L. Among whole fruit products, 2/6 were contaminated with patulin at 10 mg/kg. Among infant fruit juices, 6/10 samples had patulin concentrations in the range 5-20 mg/L. The infant fruit purees showed no detectable patulin contamination.
