Aflatoxin M1（Cat No.:R010782）is a hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1, produced when contaminated feed is ingested by dairy animals and subsequently secreted into milk and dairy products. Classified as a Group 1 human carcinogen, it poses significant food safety concerns due to its hepatotoxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects. Aflatoxin M1 binds to DNA and proteins, leading to liver damage and increased cancer risk. Because of its stability during pasteurization and processing, strict monitoring and regulation are required. It remains a critical focus in toxicology, food safety, and public health research.
