ObjectiveTo evaluate the exposure levels and health risks of aflatoxins (AFT) in dried chili and chili powder sold in Shandong Province.MethodsAFT in chili and chili powder samples were determined using liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, and aflatoxin exposure was calculated using the point evaluation method.ResultsThe detection rate of AFTB1 was the highest in the 120 samples of dried chili and chili powder investigated, at 21.7% (26/120). The proportion of samples exceeding the national standard limit was 8.3% (10/120); the qualification rate was 91.7% (110/120). The detection rate of AFTB2 was 19.2% (23/120), that of AFTG1 was 5.0% (6/120), and that of AFTG2 was 0.8% (1/120). The detection rate of AFT in chili powder was significantly higher than that of dry chili samples (P
