Mycotoxin contamination in barley and oats harvested in Eastern Canada was investigated by studying data retrieved from the mycotosin Databank of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Of the 116 barley samples collected from 1991 to 1998 crops, 84 were contaminated with DON. Some samples contained DON at up to 8-9 mg/Kg. DON contamination was particularly severe in the years 1996, 1997 and 1998. By comparison, DON contamination was less frequent and less severe in oats only 34/73 oat samples contained DON. Thirty-four percent of the barley somples and 15% of the oat samples contained nivalenol. Zearalenone, OA, 3-acetyl DON, 15-acetyl DON and T-2 toxin were also detected at low frequencies; but HT-2, diacetosyscipenol, fusarenon X, 15-acetoxyscirpenol and neosolaniol were not detected in these samples.
