Highlights
- Singeing increase the level of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in hide and skin of slaughtered animals.
- The well-known carcinogenic PAHs in the singed hides and skin were below the maximum permissible limit.
- PAHs of hide and skin are of health concern due to the associated risk on cumulative exposure via dietary use in Nigeria.

Highlights
- Aflatoxins levels of 18.8% of the complementary food samples were above the maximum permitted limit of 10 µg/kg.
- Infants fed on Weanimix from rural households and urban shops could have minimum aflatoxins daily exposure of 0.044 and 0.014 µg/kg bw/d, respectively.
- Increased effort by national regulators and all food producers is necessary to reduce aflatoxins in complementary foods.

Highlights
- Significant differences were observed between sensitivity of the tested yeasts against biopolymeric foam activated with carvacrol.
- Candida zeylanoides and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa were the most sensitive strains against biopolymeric foam activated with carvacrol.
- Aureobasidium pullulans was the least sensitive yeast strain, showing clear zone of 20.4±0.3 mm.
- The biopolymeric foam activated with carvacrol was highly effective against all the studied yeasts.

Highlights
- Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and Ochratoxin A (OTA) were respectively detected in 32 and 28% millet samples from Tunisia.
- Approximately, 28 and 24% samples were above standard limits for AFB1 and OTA, respectively.
- The estimated daily intake of OTA and AFB1 were 3.76 and 3.89 ng/kg b.w. per day, respectively.
