Objective: The present investigation was carried out to determine concentration of lead in milk and dairy products in Dak Lak in 2020. Materials and methods: A total of 150 samples of popular commercial milk and dairy products in the study area (based on data reported by the City Food Safety Bureau). 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 lead. Results: Lead was detectable in 55/150 samples (36,7%). The mean concentrations of Pb in cheese, milk cake, powdered milk, yogurt and raw milk samples were 22,91 µg/kg, 9,11 µg/L, 6,98 µg/L, 4,72 µg/L and 2,84 µg/L, respectively. On the other side, this study also reported 18/150 samples (12%) over the permissible levels of 20 µg/L established by QCVN 8-2:2011/BYT.
