The aflatoxins content of 140 cotton seed samples were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. Samples were obtained from wholesalers in Iran between May 2010 and June 2011. Aflatoxin B-1 gave the highest incidence of contamination and was found in 129 of the 139 samples. The highest concentration of aflatoxin was 14.4 ng g(-1). Thirteen cotton seed samples (9.35%) were above one of the regulatory limits of the European Union (5 ng g(-1)), but no sample was above the highest EU limit and the safety limit recommended by the FDA (20 ng g(-1)) and regulatory limits of Iran (50 ng g(-1)) for total aflatoxin.
