Survelillance of stored urain from the 1997 harvest in the United Kingdom for ochratoxin A.

Samples of farm stored wheat, barley and oats in the UK were examined for OA contamination.  OA was detected in 21% of the 306 samples examined, with barley more frequency contaminated than wheat.  Mean concentrations of OA found for all samples were 0.9 ug/kg in barley, 0.29 ug/kg in wheat and  0.15 ug/kg oats.  Concentrations of 81 and  30 ug/kg were found in ‘reject-grade’ wheat sample whose results were excluded from the main survey.  In summary, 2.7 and 0.3% of sample exceeded concentrations of 5 and 10  ug/kg respectively.  There appeared to be significant relationships between OA concentrations and moisture content, storage time and geographical area.
