In which, 10 powdered milk, 40 raw milk, 70 yogurt, 10 cheese and 20 milk cake samples were collected from farms, individual farmers and dairy shops in Dak Lak. It were analysed for determination their cadmium.


Results: Cadmium was detectable in 107/150 samples. The mean concentrations of Cd in milk cake, cheese, raw milk, powdered milk and yogurt samples were 157,3 µg/L; 155,1 µg/L; 133,7 µg/L; 119,8 µg/L and 88,5 µg/L, respectively. On the other side, this study also reported that the contents of cadmium in all materials weren’t over the permissible levels of 1000 µg/L established by QCVN 8-2:2011/BYT.
