Abstract | ||||
Sixty chicken giblets samples, (20 each of gizzard and liver and 10 each of heart and canned liver) were randomly collected from different supermarKets and poultry butcher shops in Cairo, and analyzed for aflatoxins residues. The incidence of total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G₁ & G₂) and aflatoxin M in examined samples were 100%. The highest total aflatoxins and aflatoxin M₁ residues levels (8.890 and 0.424 ppb) were estimated in canned Liver and liver samples respectively, while the lowest levels (0.425 and 0.216 ppb) were estimated in gizzard and heart samples respectively. The Public health hazards of aflatoxins as well as suggestive control measures were discussed. | ||||
