Abstract
Milk and milk products are a significant part of healthy diet. However, contamination of milk can be dangerous and detrimental for the health of consumers. The safety of milk and milk products decreases with increasing concentrations of toxic compounds and environmental pollutants. Milk and dairy products can be polluted with heavy metals either through foodstuff and water or through manufacturing, packaging processes and dairy utensils. The present study was carried out to assess the residual levels of three metals (lead, cadmium and zinc) also antiparasitic (ivermectin) was determined in 60 samples of fresh milk collected from different locations in Damietta Governorate, Egypt. Lead and cadmium were not detected from any examined milk samples, but zinc values ranged from 1.72 – 4.46 with a mean value of 2.422 ± 0.1 ng/Liter. On the other hand, ivermectin ranged from 1.47 to 1.5 ug/kg with a mean value of 1.1 ± 0.057. The results show none of the examined milk samples were over the permissible limit recommended by Egyptian Standards and Codex Alimentarius Commission.
