Abstract
A total number of 90 (45 soft white and 45 processed) local cheese samples purchased from Mosul City supermarkets from March to June 2013 were analyzed for Afla toxine (M1),AFM1 using competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results showed that 37 soft white cheese samples (82.22%) were positive to residual AFM1 with a range between 0.000-0.470 ppb and a mean of 0.133 ppb, while all the 45 processed cheese samples (100%) were contaminated with AFM1 at a range between 0.040-0.810 ppb and a mean of 0.213 ppb the difference between mean was significant (p<0.05) than that of soft white cheese samples. Four soft white cheese samples (8.88%) were failing to reach the desired level of the European Communities and Codex, compared with 9 samples of processed cheese (20%) failed to reach the desired level. The public health hazarded of AFM1 in milk and dairy products was discussed
