Mycotoxin Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary and Conclusion

• The results are intermediate data. Investigations have not yet been completed.

• Grain and grain products contain different quantities of DON.

• The main cause for DON infection is contamination of the grain during the growing season.

• DON may also be produced during storage and/or handling and processing of food.

• There does not seem to be a zero-tolerance.

• It is essential to take appropriate measures during primary production and secondary production to minimize mycotoxin formation.

• The results explain a possible consumer risk that has to be taken seriously.

• Furthermore it is necessary to determine EC-wide limiting DON values for foodstuff.
