Mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1, deoxynivalenol, fumonisin, ochratoxin, zearalenone, T2 and HT2 are dangerous and must not contaminate food and feed products. These naturally occurring metabolites can adversely affect the health of humans and animals. However, toxicity levels are complex and dependent on type and the end user. For this reason, strict regulations regarding mycotoxins are enforced in many countries.
Ensure food and feed product conformity
We offer a range of high-level mycotoxin testing solutions to ensure agricultural food and feed products conform to strict national and international legislation governing quality, integrity and safety. Using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrophotometry (LC MSMS), our experts can detect and quantify the presence of mycotoxins in a variety of agricultural commodities. Failure to identify the presence of mycotoxins not only raises issue of non-compliance but also poses a risk of harm to humans and animals, as well as your reputation.
