Background-aim: Aflatoxin M (AFM) contaminates milk and dairy products that are widely consumed foods. Therefore, there is increased concern for human exposure to the toxic action and the negative health effects that AFM presents. The aim of this study was to assess the contamination levels with AFM, of dairy products available in the Greek market (Thessaly), and also to estimate the relevant nutritional exposure.
