Abstrakt: A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of 4 different assays for rapidly screening samples of artificially contaminated hams and salami for the presence of aflatoxins (B+B+G+G) at concentrations ≥5 μg/kg. Test samples were contaminated in the range of 0 - 100μg/kg. At 0 μg/kg level no false positive (all <5 μg/kg) were found for all commodities by the kits tested; all test samples spiked at level >20 μg/kg were found positive by each kit, while most of the errors associated in the assays occurred on samples containing <10μg/kg. For samples either negative or contaminated above 20μg/kg all the methods were suited for use as rapid screening tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
