03 Jul 2024 --- More than 94% of the members of the European association of trade in cereals, oilseeds, rice, pulses, olive oil, oils and fats, animal feed and agro supply (COCERAL) sample their produce to “monitor mycotoxins,” reveals a survey. Maize, wheat and barley are the most tested crops for the contaminant. This comes as scientists and food and feed ingredient companies increasingly target the crop contaminant to bolster food safety. Mycotoxins infect more than 25% of globally produced grains yearly, lower crop quality and cause financial losses for farmers.
