There is increasing interest in the links between food safety and nutrition. Animal-source foods contribute to fulfilling important micronutrient requirements by supplying vitamin B12, high quality protein, iron, zinc, vitamin A of high bioavailability, riboflavin and calcium. However, high meat ...

Where food safety meets nutrition outcomes in livestock and fish value chains: a conceptual approach
Diarrhea is one of the most common diseases and is a leading cause of death in developing countries. This is often caused by contaminated food. Poor food hygiene standards are exacerbated by the presence of flies which can transmit a variety of infectious microorganisms, particularly through anim...

Aflatoxin M1 levels in different marketed milk products in Nairobi, Kenya
Background: Food safety is of increasing global concern, and a OneHealth issue requiring attention of many disciplines. Aflatoxins are toxins produced by fungi and found in foods and feeds, and exposure causes negative health effects in humans and animals. When lactating animals consume aflatoxin...

Aflatoxins are toxic by-products of fungi contaminating maize and other crops; they can
be carried over into milk, meat and eggs when livestock eat aflatoxin-contaminated feed
or fodder. People who consume such animal products are exposed to the toxins. To assess
the aflatoxin contamination statu...

Aflatoxin binders in foods for human consumption—Can this be promoted safely and ethically?
Background
Malnutrition, including undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies is a chronic problem in most developing countries. Animal-source foods (ASFs) provide essential sources of proteins and micronutrients, yet little is known about ASF consumption patterns or household preferences towa...
