Abstract
Milk and dairy products are foodstuffs of high biological value consumed frequently and in large quantities by vulnerable groups of population (children, pregnant women, elderly people). Continuous
control of these foodstuffs' safety is therefore of particular significance for public health.
This paper presents milk and dairy products safety examination results performed in the period from 1991 to 2001. In that period 8.2% of milk samples and 4.0% of dairy product samples were found unsafe on account of microbiological parameters, while 3.3% of milk samples and 6.7% of dairy product samples were found unsafe because of chemical parameters.
The results continuously remain within the range of given ecommendations, and that positive trend should be maintained.
