Partial gamma contamination food factors for I-131, Cs-134, Cs-137 and Ru-106 and total gamma contamination food factor for milk powder, whey and some confectionary products (chocolate, chocolate creme and baby food) contaminated after the nuclear accident at Chernobyl (USSR) were calculated. The samples were imported from different European countries immediately after the accident, in 1986 and in 1987. The activity of the radionuclides was determined on a Ge(Li) detector by standard gamma spectrometry. The permissible level (600 Bg/kg) of the radionuclide content in food at that time is disscused considering the total activity of the samples and the quantities in which milk powder and whey are used in the diet, as well as in confectionery and animal feed production.
