Threats Of Mycotoxin Contamination

Globally, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that approximately 25 per cent of the world's food crops are contaminated with mycotoxins. However, the Eskola et al. 2020 study challenges this figure, suggesting 60–80 per cent of crops have detectable levels of mycotoxins. Multiple research reports indicate on a global level, 30–88 per cent of food-feed samples are co-contaminated with multiple mycotoxins.
