33 samples have been collected from 11 different food items found in Damascus and its countryside (Dairy Products - Nuts - Grains - red pepper - orange juice) and that the rate of 3 samples of each material. Isolated fungi in these samples and were diagnosed as follows: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger,  Aspergillus parasiticus in samples of nuts,while  Aspergillus crustosum, Aspergillus candidus, Penicillium commune, Penicillium crustosum  in  dairy products , and appeared genus Fusarium avenaceum  in samples of wheat studied, genus Xeromyces bisporus in most samples of red pepper, while  the observed gender Aspergillus.parasiticus  and Penicillium.italicum in  orange juice, and for the rice samples contained the following types: 

 Aspergillus.ochraseus,Penicillium.crustosum,Cladosporium.marocarpum. 

And fungal species were distributed differently between the studied samples, where genus Penicillium had the highest frequency which was about 80% of the samples, while the lowest frequency of genus Xeromyces was around 20%. 

then the amount of total aflatoxin was estimated using a Flourometer type VICAM The results have showed the different content of aflatoxin in the studied samples. It was high in the nuts (where it arrived in some samples to 76 ppb), as well as in Shenklish about(3.5-20ppb) and this is due to the presence of fungi producing aflatoxins while it was low in the butter and the white cheese (as it did not exceed the quantity 1.5ppb). 

Thus,the results have indicated the presence of some of the samples are not in conformity with Syrian standard specifications No. 2680 of 2002.
