Abstract

In 1990–2000 selected Polish cereals, cereal products and some different commodities collected in several regions of Poland were analysed for ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxins. The frequency and the level of contamination of Polish cereals and cereal products by ochratoxin A seem to be similar as in most European countries. Aflatoxins in cereals and their products does not seem to be a problem in Poland, however the attention should be pay to some imported products like peanuts.
