In Latin America the information related to trace elements content in milk and milk products isscarce. In this region, arsenic naturally occurring in ground water, it can reach production areas. We studiedthe correlation of As with other trace elements, like vanadium and uranium, and also calculated the daily Asintake rate. The mean As concentration in all samples was 20 ± 11 µg/kg. A correlation between As and V (r:0.74, p
