Ochratoxins (OTA) are mycotoxins produced by mold fungi, including Aspergillus and Penicillium. These toxins can be found in various products such as cereals, coffee, dried fruits, and red wine. Accumulation of ochratoxins in the human body is classified as carcinogenic. Additionally, dietary intake of ochratoxins can lead to acute kidney damage.
To ensure safety, it is crucial to monitor food and feed for ochratoxin contamination. Regulatory limits for ochratoxins differ by country. For instance, the maximum allowable levels are set at 5 µg/kg for unprocessed grains, 2 µg/kg for wine, and 0.5 µg/kg for infant formula.
