Intake of ochratoxin A and deoxynivalenol through beer consumption in Belgium

Occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins and their dietary intake through beer consumption by the European population

“…Generally, DON mean contribution to the tolerable intake in European population from beer is 5% (LB and UB) and HT-2 mean contribution ranged from 7% (LB) to 12% (UB). Consequently, the values obtained in this study demonstrate that the intake of DON though average beer consumption is not a matter of concern from a toxicological point of view, in agreement with previous studies (Bertuzzi et al, 2011;Harcz et al, 2007;Varga et al, 2013). Despite that, the intake of HT-2 from beer consumption in some countries should be taken into account.…”

Cumulative health risk assessment of co-occurring mycotoxins of deoxynivalenol and its acetyl derivatives in wheat and maize: Case study, Shanghai, China

“…The mean probabilistic exposure assessment results of individual mycotoxin were similar to the deterministic values, and also comparable to that reported from northern Nigeria (Ezekiel et al, 2014), Cameroon (Njumbe Ediage et al, 2014), Belgium (Harcz et al, 2007) and Japan (Nakatani et al, 2011).…”

Mycotoxin occurrence in beer produced in several European countries

“…The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) indicated a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) for OTA of 120 ng kg À1 bw, (equivalent to a TDI of 0.017 mg kg À1 bw), while the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) from Table 3 it is evident that, for a moderate consumer, the daily average exposure from beer was negligible, in agreement with previous studies (Harcz et al, 2007;Gumus et al, 2004;Pietri et al, 2010).…”
