An investigation into aflatoxin M1 in slaughtered fattening pigs and awareness of aflatoxins in Vietnam by Hu Suk Lee, Lindahl, Johanna F., Hung Nguyen-Viet, Nguyen Viet Khong, Vuong Bui Nghia, Huyen Nguyen Xuan, Grace, Delia

“…Conclusions We can conclude that pigs in Vietnam are exposed to aflatoxins to varying degrees, and there may be a risk that pork products could contain AFM1. Further investigation is needed into the possible health impacts as well as to aid in establishing regulations for animal feed to reduce the health impacts in humans and animals.…”
