The aim of this work was to evaluate the usefulness of the ion trap mass spectrometry coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography for simultaneous determination of selected trichothecenes (nivalenol, deoxynivalenol, fusarenon-X, neosolaniol, 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, diacetoxyscirpenol, HT-2 and T-2 toxins) in grain products. These compounds were extracted from the grain products and then cleaned up with the developed, simple and robust procedure using some mixture of neutral alumina, charcoal and diatomaceous earth. Method recovery was 88-125 % depending on combination of the analysed mycotoxins, sample matrix and the fortification level. Method precision expressed by relative standard deviation ranged from 2.6 to 27.4 %. The concentrations of the selected trichothecenes have been determined in 94 samples of cerealbased products. Maize-based next to wheat-based products were the most contaminated with deoxynivalenol, neosolaniol, 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, diacetoxyscirpenol and HT-2 toxin. In 83 % of wheat-based products, deoxynivalenol was determined at the average level of 249 μg kg −1 . The highest concentration of deoxynivalenol-2,026 μg kg −1 (476±471 μg kg −1 on the average)-was found in the maize-based product. Other mycotoxins were found much less frequently: 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol in only one sample at the concentration of 59 μg kg −1 , neosolaniol, HT-2 toxin and diacetoxyscirpenol in a few samples on average concentrations close to respective limits of quantification.
