FAQ

How important is mycotoxin elimination?

Mycotoxins are toxic chemicals produced by molds that can grow on grains, fruits, nuts, and other agricultural products, especially in conditions of high humidity and heat. Their presence poses a serious threat to human and animal health and the quality of food and feed products.

By regularly testing for mycotoxins, we can ensure the safety of food and feed, protecting human and animal health. Quality control of agricultural products is crucial to avoid negative effects of their consumption.

Some mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins, are potent carcinogens, and their long-term consumption can lead to liver damage, lowered immunity, and even an increased risk of developing cancer. Others, such as ochratoxins, can damage the kidneys and respiratory system.

Consumption of feed contaminated with mycotoxins can lead to diseases in farm animals, such as reduced appetite, decreased milk production, delayed development or fertility problems. Mycotoxins can also pass into animal products, which poses a risk to humans.

Mycotoxins can contaminate food at any stage of production, from harvesting to processing and storage. Contaminated products may not meet quality requirements and pose a risk to consumers.

We use state-of-the-art technology, including NOACK’s Raptor and Reveal Q+ analytical kits, which allow us to obtain accurate and reliable results that determine product quality.
