Researchers have assessed the mycotoxin threat in European wheat and how it is changing. Fusarium mycotoxins were discovered in every European country.
A study by scientists from the University of Bath and the University of Exeter looked at Fusarium head blight (FHB) from 2010 to 2019. Findings were published in the

Scientists have developed a method to detect two types of mycotoxins in wheat products.
Researchers from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) and CNR-National Council of Italy developed the method based on infrared spectroscopy to find Deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat bran and Ochratoxin A (OTA) in durum wheat. Research
