    Abstract:
    Results from the Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority on contamination of cereals and cereal products from the Bavarian market with the mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEA), and ochratoxin A (OTA) and of maize meal and semolina with fumonisins (FUM) in the year 2004 are presented. Contamination rates and levels of DON, ZEA, and OTA were low and did not exceed the maximum levels. However, a 92% contamination rate and high levels of FUM in maize meal and semolina were measured. Contamination levels of mycotoxins are discussed and evaluated with respect to possible health implications for consumers.
