Aflatoxin M1 is mainly present in cow's milk, which is mainly caused by cows ingesting feed contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Detecting aflatoxins in milk is also a good method. Ballya provides an aflatoxin M1 test kit(https://ballyabio.com/aflatoxin-m1-test-fluorescence/) for aflatoxin M1 in milk. Simple and fast, the test results comply with EU standards.
