Summary:High concentration of Fluoride (F) in powder milk (formula-milk) can have adverse health effects on the body. The fluoride concentration of powder milk was analyzed in Iran in 2010. Twelve commercial brands of highly-consumed powder milk were selected to analyze fluoride content using a standard fluoride ion-selective electrode (ISC). Three samples with different production dates from each brand were selected. The mean plus or minus SD fluoride concentration in all the samples was 1.73 plus or minus 0.3 mg F/kg. The minimum and maximum F content in powder milk brands Humana2 and Humana3 were 1.32 plus or minus 0.1 and 2.36 plus or minus 0.3 mg F/g, respectively. The study revealed that there was no significant difference in fluoride concentration of the samples that belonged to various dates. Humana3 had high fluoride concentration (with an average of 2.36 plus or minus 0.3 mg F/g), which might be a risk factor for dental fluorosis, especially when mixed with water high in high F.
