In this research, the levels of bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalate esters (PAEs) were determined in 54 distinct dairy products sold in T & uuml;rkiye, which included ayran, yogurt, fruit yogurt, kefir, protein milk, children's milk, and milk. The study also evaluated the non-carcinogenic health risks associated with these products, focusing on the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Hazard Index (HI). The average concentrations of BPA, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-octylphthalate (DNOP), and bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (BEHTP) in the analyzed dairy products were recorded as 1.18 f 2.38, 0.36 f 0.52, 0.05 f 0.16, 1.13 f 3.21, 0.01 f 0.00, 1.37 f 3.79, and 3.48 f 11.00 mu g/L, respectively. Tetra Pak samples showed lower average levels of BPA and PAEs than those in polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polystyrene (PS) packaging. The average exposure levels of BPA and & sum; 6PAEs in the examined milk and dairy products were found to be 0.23 f 0.47 and 0.46 f 1.31 mu g/day, respectively. The calculated THQ and HI values for each compound, food group, and packaging type are significantly lower than the reference value of 1. However, it is noteworthy that a total of 29 samples (Samples 2-4, 7, 10, 11, 17-23, 26-31, 34, 35, 38-44, and 48) resulted in estimated intakes that exceeded the tolerable daily intake (TDI).
