Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, is a potent inhibitor of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis at the ribosomal level. Acute exposure to DON can lead to severe symptoms, including vomiting, rapid skin irritation, and immunosuppression.
To ensure consumer safety, it is crucial to regularly test food and feed for DON contamination. Legal limits for DON vary by country. For example, in the EU, maximum allowable levels are set at 1250 µg/kg for unprocessed cereals, 500 µg/kg for bread, and 200 µg/kg for infant food.
