[Study of fumonisins B1 and B2 contamination of baby food]
Abstract:
Fumonisins content were studied in the baby foods, grits and flour by HPLC. FB1 +FB2 were found in 95% of 129 samples of grits and flour in quantities from 30 to 4350 microg/kg (mean: 580 microg/kg). Fumonisins were found in baby food in 52% of snacks in the range from 10 to 720 microg/kg (mean: 35 microg/kg). Processed cereal-based and cereal and dairy-based food contained FB1+FB2 in 39% of cases in the amount from 10 to 9200 microg/kg (mean: 244 microg/kg). Fumonisins were not found in canned baby food on the cereal-based with meat, fish or fruit products.
