Levels of DDT in sterilized milk

Abstract

Milk is an important source of nutrients for newborns, babies, and children. Sterilized milk is a nutritional food of modern times and a fast lifestyle. On the other hand, concerns about the safety of milk date back to the end of the last century. Various sources of contamination can threaten the safety of milk and the health of children, but also adults. The concern is primarily related to the presence of pesticides, the main source of which is the feed and the environment. The aim of this work is to systematize the results obtained from milk control in recent years. Research was carried out by monitoring the presence of the sum of DDT metabolites in sterilized milk in the period from 2018 to 2022.
