Abstract
A large-scale study was conducted to explore AFB1 contamination in feed samples using Thin Layer Chromatography, following an AOAC protocol. Samples were identified which were not compliant with the maximum limits for AFB1 as regulated in the United States and Pakistan. Of a total of 923 samples, 51 samples (5.5%) were not compliant according to Pakistan and 267 (28.9%) were not compliant with US-FDA standards. The overall prevalence of non-compliant samples of compound feed was 26.2% (n = 117) according to US-FDA standards, while none of the samples were non-compliant according to Pakistan standards. Among feed ingredients, the overall prevalence of non-compliant samples was 10.7% (n = 51) and 31.4% (n = 150) according to Pakistan and USFDA standards, respectively. Non-compliant feed with respect to AFB1 contamination was highly prevalent in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, posing a serious threat to production performance and animals health.
期刊介绍:
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B publishes surveillance data indicating the presence and levels of occurrence of designated food additives, residues and contaminants in foods, food supplements and animal feed. Data using validated methods must meet stipulated quality standards to be acceptable and must be presented in a prescribed format for subsequent data-handling.
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B restricts its scope to include certain classes of food additives, residues and contaminants. This is based on a goal of covering those areas where there is a need to record surveillance data for the purposes of exposure and risk assessment.
The scope is initially restricted to:
Additives - food colours, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives;
Residues – veterinary drug and pesticide residues;
Contaminants – metals, mycotoxins, phycotoxins, plant toxins, nitrate/nitrite, PCDDs/PCFDs, PCBs, PAHs, acrylamide, 3-MPCD and contaminants derived from food packaging.
Readership: The readership includes scientists involved in all aspects of food safety and quality and particularly those involved in monitoring human exposure to chemicals from the diet.
Papers reporting surveillance data in areas other than the above should be submitted to Part A . The scope of Part B will be expanded from time-to-time to ensure inclusion of new areas of concern.
