Natural contamination by fumonisins in Brazilian corn samples, 39 from the State of Parana, and 9 from the tropical states, Mate Grosso do Sul and Colas, harvested in 1990-1991 was investigated.  In the State of Parana, fumonisins B₁ (FB₁) and B₂ were present in 97.4% and 94.8% of samples, respectively, with average levels of 4.2 and 3.5 mg/kg, respectively.  Samples from the tropical states had average FB₁ and B₂ levels of 10.6 and 10.3 mg/kg, respectively.  Samples from Colas had FB₁ and B₂ contamination of 5.8 and 3.6 mg/kg, respectively.
