Sumario:INTRODUCTION: A mini-study of 20 raw milk samples was conducted to examine the spectrum of fungal metabolites in sheep milk from the first spring milking. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Samples were collected from randomly selected ewes in two animal flocks from the Bieszczady Mountains and analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Out of ~700 bacterial, fungal, and plant metabolites tested for, only one mycotoxin – Enniatin B – was detected in sheep milk samples (18/20; 0.0055–0.0121 μg/kg; 0.0078 μg/kg average). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that there was no high-level exposure to fungal metabolites via consumption of raw sheep milk during the sample collection period.
