Aflatoxin M-1 (AFM(1)) contamination is evaluated in 120 samples of raw milk from cow and buffalo (60 each), collected randomly in the Shush (southwest Iran). Enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to analyse AFM(1) in the samples. AFM(1) was detected in 44 (69%) raw cow milk samples with a mean of 55ng/l at a range of 3.6-419ng/l) and in 46 (79%) raw buffalo milk samples with a mean of 116ng/l at a range of 13-423ng/l. In all samples, the AFM(1) concentration was lower than the Iranian national standard and FDA limit of 500ng/l. According to the European Union and Codex Alimentarius Commission, 18 (28%) and 32 (52%) of cow and buffalo raw milk samples are above the 50ng/l limit, respectively. Results showed that AFM(1) contamination of raw milk could pose a problem for public health, since all age groups, including infants and children, consume this product.
