Fumonisin B1 in maize for food production imported in the Netherlands

Abstract

Sixty‐two samples of maize imported in The Netherlands and intended for human consumption were screened for the presence and concentration of fumonisin B1. Sixty‐one of those samples contained fumonisin B1 with concentrations ranging from 30 to 3350 μg kg−1 11 maize samples contained > 1000 μg kg−1. The average fumonisin B1 concentration was 640 μg kg−1 for the positive samples and 620 μg kg−1 for all samples. Medians were 600 μg kg−1 and 550 μg kg−1for positive and all samples, respectively. The results obtained were comparable to results from other studies in maize from various countries.
