The purpose of this study was to investigate the ochratoxin A content in baby food. The analysis of ochratoxin A were performed by immuno affinity column clean-up and HPLC with fluorescence detection. The detection limit was 0,2 mg/kg. Ochratoxin A was detected in 22,5%. of 40 samples UP to 1,2 mg/kg. Mean level was 0,15 and 0,31 mg/kg. Ochratoxin A level was higher in oat-based samples. Calculations made on the basis of the obtained means showed that the daily ochratoxin A dietary intake were up to 1, 72 ng/kg b.omega.
