A survey of Fusarium toxins in cereal-based foods marketed in an area of southwest Germany.

A total of 237 commercially available samples of cereal based foods including bread and related products, noodles, breakfast cereals, baby and infant foods, rice and other foods were randomly collected in southwest Germany during the first six months of 1998. Based on all samples, the incidence of DON, HT-2 toxin, T-2 toxin, 3-acetylDON, 15-acetylDON and nivalenol was at 71,18,4,4,4 and 2% respectively. The average contents in positive samples were at 103, 16, 14, 17, 24 and 109 ug/kg, respectively. Fusarenon-X was not detected in any sample. A lower DON content was found in baby and infant foods as well as in cookies and cakes compared to bread. Overall, based on the incidence and level of all 6 toxins, the degree of contamination was lowest in baby and infant foods. In foods produced from cereals of organic production both the incidence and median content of DON was lower compared to conventional production. ZEA, alpha-and beta-zearalenl were assayed in 20 selected samples, mostly baby and infant foods and were not present in excess of the detection limit in any sample.
