Mycotoxin testing

Mycotoxins (i.e. mould toxins) are common food contaminants that are most often found in cereals and products derived from them. Continued exposure can lead to a range of health issues, making mycotoxin testing an important part of food and feed industry quality control.

EU regulations on mycotoxins

European food contaminant regulations cover several mycotoxins that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has found to cause detrimental health effects. Currently, Regulation (EU) 2023/915 on food contaminants sets binding maximum limits for the concentrations of the following mycotoxins in high-risk products: 

  • Aflatoxin

  • Ochratoxin A

  • Patulin

  • Deoxynivalenol

  • Zearalenone

  • Fumonisins

  • Citrinin

  • Ergot sclerotia and alkaloids

  • T-2 and HT-2 toxins

Unprocessed cereals and cereal-based foods are susceptible to several types of mycotoxins. Other high-risk products include fruit juices (patulin), nuts (aflatoxin), and coffee (ochratoxin A). Due to the vulnerability of the population group, the strictest limits are set for foods intended for infants and small children.

Regulations also apply to animal feed, where maximum limits have been set for aflatoxin B1 and rye ergot concentrations.
