“…However, aflatoxin-contaminated pet feeds have been found in surveys conducted in the states of Minas Gerais [20] and Santa Catarina [9]. Pleadin et al [21] confirmed the corn as the main source of aflatoxin contamination in feeds in Croatia, where high incidences of aflatoxins at levels ranging from 1.1 to 2,072 µg/kg were found in corn samples from different farms and feed factories. FB 1 levels in PFI or HC samples obtained in the presented study were higher when compared with those reported by Mngadi et al [22], who 2 Percentage of positive samples of the total analysed samples of corn for pet feed industry (n = 24) and for human consumption (n = 24)".…”

“…Until a few years ago, aflatoxins had not been signalled as a matter of concern for primary production in Europe (Logrieco & Moretti 2008). However, in 2003, 2012 and 2015 several reports from Southern-eastern Europe countries identified an alarming contamination in maize (Piva et al 2006;Tabuc et al 2009;Levic et al 2013;Dobolyi et al 2013;Kos et al 2013;Pleadin et al 2014;Dimitrieska-Stojković et al 2016;Janić Hajnal et al 2017).…”

Climate change has been indicated as a driver for food safety issues worldwide, mainly due to the impact on the occurrence of food safety hazards at various stages of food chain. Mycotoxins, natural contaminants produced by fungi, are among the most important of such hazards. Aflatoxins, which have the highest acute and chronic toxicity of all mycotoxins, assume particular importance. A recent study predicted aflatoxin contamination in maize and wheat crops in Europe within the next 100 years and aflatoxin B1 is predicted to become a food safety issue in Europe, especially in the most probable scenario of climate change (+2°C). This review discusses the potential influence of climate change on the health risk associated to aflatoxins dietary exposure of Portuguese population. We estimated the burden of disease associated to the current aflatoxin exposure for Portuguese population in terms of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). It is expected that in the future the number of DALYs and the associated cases of hepatocellular carcinoma due to aflatoxins exposure will increase due to climate change. The topics highlighted through this review, including the potential impact on health of the Portuguese population through the dietary exposure to aflatoxins, should represent an alert for the potential consequences of an incompletely explored perspective of climate change. Politics and decision-makers should be involved and committed to implement effective measures to deal with climate change issues and to reduce its possible consequences. This review constitutes a contribution for the prioritisation of strategies to face the unequal burden of effects of weather-related hazards in Portugal and across Europe.

“…High frequencies of aflatoxin in corn were also recently published from Croatia, when 38% of 633 analyzed corn samples were contaminated with aflatoxins, the mean value being 81 μg kg -1 (Pleadin et al, 2014). In the period 2014-2016 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 272 samples of silage, corn or concentrated feeds were examined, and 2.57% had values above Bosnia's MAC (Dojčinović et al 2017).…”

Background. Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites, which are synthesized from a large number of intermediates from the primary metabolism of saprophytic molds. Aflatoxins, due to their genotoxic and carcinogenic effects, are the most important group of mycotoxins from the aspect of their impact on human and animal health. Of all known aflatoxins, AFB1 is the most frequent, with the most harmful impact on human and animal health.Scope and Approach. Due to their prevalence and toxicity, monitoring the presence of aflatoxins in the food chain is required. The scope of this paper is to provide information on the presence of aflatoxins in animal feed and in milk. This paper describes temperature increases in Europe that are contributing to the increased presence of aflatoxins in food, as well as aflatoxin prevention and protection measures.Key Findings and Conclusions. During the last decade, serious contamination of corn with aflatoxins was recorded in southern Europe. In the summer of 2012, Serbia recorded high concentrations of aflatoxins in corn and milk. Based on climate change data, it is expected that aflatoxin contamination in corn will become more frequent.
