Table 4.
Mean and P95 estimated daily intakes (EDI) to AFB1 from nixtamalized maize and from the GEMS/Food cluster diets and contaminants database, expressed in ng/kg bw/day.

LB: Lower Bound; UB: Upper bound.
(a)
EDI obtained from AFB1 concentrations in the samples (LB, UB) for both datasets (Table 3) combined with mean (193.8 g/day) and P95 (488.5 g/day) consumption data.
(b)
P95 considered twice the value of the mean EDI for the LB and UB.
(c)
The high percentile corresponds to P90 instead of P95 [3].
