3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol is one of the food borne contaminants called chloropropanols. Over the last decade plenty of analytical methods was developed in order to determine 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol in its free and bound form in various foodstuffs with the use of GC-FID, GC-ECD, LC-TOFMS and finally GC-MS, which is now widely used in laboratories. The aim of this research was the determination of 3-monochloropropane--1,2-diol in samples of infant foods from various producers and samples of human breast milk collected during different periods after childbirth. 3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol was determined in all of the analysed samples. The concentrations were proportional to the amount of fat which foodstuffs contained. The level of free and bound 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol in analysed samples may be considered as dangerous for infants’ health.
