MYCOTOXINS ISSUE

� According to FAO up to 25% of grains is lost every year

because of contaminations (e.g. diseases, fungi, insects).

� Toxins are very dangerous for human and animal health,

allowed limits in ppb.

� Globally the Authorities and consumers have become

more and more strict as regards to their expectations of

7

more and more strict as regards to their expectations of

food and feed safety, in EU especially after crop 2012.

� In case of contamination the cargo is loosing value and in

some cases may have to be destroyed.

� Consequence of non compliance can be a big multi

million dollars issue and our clients were asking us for

sophisticated instrument for risk mitigation and proving

that they are managing food safety issues.

MYCOTOXINS MONITORING PROGRAM

� We continue for 2nd year to screen corn for following Mycotoxins:

Aflatoxin ( B1 and total), Ochratoxin, Deoxynivalenol, Zearalenone,

Fumonisins, HT-2/T-2.

� Following certification schemes including GMP+, OVOCOM, GTP

(Cocerial), AIC, EFISC, QS confirmed that it’s good Early Warning

Notification System and risk mitigation tool.

8

� List of countries for monitoring:

• Ukraine

• Bulgaria

• Hungary

• Croatia

• Romania

• Russia

• Serbia

• Slovakia

• Czech Republic

DETAILS OF THE PROGRAM

� The distribution of number of samples per country was done according to number of alerts from above mentioned countries.

� In case we observe any contamination we always go deeper, test additional samples to localize the root cause of the problem.

� Sampling was done by qualified SGS inspectors following GAFTA sampling rules.

9

� Sampling period: during 3-6 months after harvesting depending on conditions/situation in a country.

� Samples will be taken from fields before harvesting or after harvest at 1st collection points or during transshipment operations.

� Analysis performed in 5 labs located in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Serbia using LC-MS/MS and HPLC.

� Access to screening results per country was given in Excel format.

� Updates with available results were sent to subscribers once a week.

� Our program can be a good risk mitigation tool for our clients, as it helps

them to avoid many problems and will give a clear understanding how to

address the issue – where to reinforce control, how and for which toxins.

� Further development will include geographical expansion and Pre-harvest

monitoring (ideally based on prediction models).
