[Ochratoxin A content in baby food].

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ochratoxin A content in baby food. The analysis of ochratoxin A were performed by immunoaffinity column clean-up and HPLC with fluorescence detection. The detection limit was 0.2 mg/kg. Ochratoxin A was detected in 22.5% of 40 samples up to 1.2 mg/kg. Mean level was 0.15 and 0.31 mg/kg. Ochratoxin A level was higher in oat-based samples. Calculations made on the basis of the obtained means showed that the daily ochratoxin A dietary intake were up to 1.72 ng/kg b.w.
