N: number of analytical results; % LCD: proportion of left‐censored data; P95: 95th percentile; LB: lower bound; UB: upper bound; AFM1: aflatoxin M1.
a
Due to the high proportion of left‐censored data, the distribution of the LB concentrations is right‐skewed. Therefore, the LB median results to be zero.
b
The 95th percentiles obtained on occurrence data with fewer than 60 analytical results and the median obtained on occurrence data with fewer than six analytical results may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011b) and are therefore not reported in the table.
