Sommaire Le Plan d'action pour assurer la sécurité des produits alimentaires (PAASPA) vise à moderniser et à améliorer le système canadien de salubrité des aliments.
Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) was detected in 57% of the nuts and nut products marketed in Penang, Malaysia using the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The contamination levels ranged from 0.40 to 222 μg/kg and 17 out of 128 samples (13.3%) contained AFB 1 above the European Commission permitted level (2 μg/kg). Estimated dietary exposure of AFB 1 in nuts and nut products were 0.36 ng per kg body weight and day and 8.89 ng per kg body weight and day, representing the low and high-level of exposure, respectively. Dose-response modelling resulted in benchmark dose lower confidence limit (BMDL 10 ) values of 0.305 ng per kg body weight and day, with the best fitted from the log-logistic model. The derived margin of exposure (MoE) values ranged from 34 to 847 suggested that AFB 1 would be of public health concern and might reasonably be considered as a high priority for risk management actions. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
