Abstract

Mycotoxin contamination is a global issue, but it is aggravated in warm, humid environments that encourage fungus growth and the creation of mycotoxins. Microbial contamination in agricultural and food production has a negative economic effect on the industry. Natural foods and feeds include toxins that are a significant source of worry for human and animal health. Cereals such as wheat, maize, barley, rice, and oats, as well as their products such as breakfast cereals, infant cereals, meals, feed, and baby mix, are the most often contaminated foodstuffs. DON contamination is caused by fungicide use and FHB-resistant genotypes. Important contamination in food and feed has been observed since DON is found in toxicologically significant amounts in food and feed all over the globe. Humans and animals also face significant health risks from DON-contaminated agricultural food and feed. Consumption of DON-contaminated food and feed may jeopardize human and animal health.
