Mycotoxin migration in moldy foods

While the first studies on mycotoxin migration in moldy foods were carried out in the late 60's-80's, this topic was less investigated in the next decades. With the current worldwide challenge to reduce food losses, including those due to potentially mycotoxigenic molds, while ensuring consumer safety, this topic has regained interest. Therefore, gathering data on mycotoxin migration in foods prone to mold contamination after retail is needed. To obtain robust data, use of shared methodological strategies based on a worst-case scenario approach to evaluate mycotoxin migration and future challenges will be discussed. Finally, the need for simple consumer recommendations that ensure food safety is required.
