Abstract

âº An assessment of exposure of the population to (masked) mycotoxins was performed. âº A deterministic and probabilistic exposure assessment was executed. âº Mean mycotoxin intakes for all cereal-based foods were beneath tolerable daily intake. âº Sub-populations can be exposed to high levels of zearalenone-equivalents. âº Systematic monitoring of all mycotoxins is a prerequisite to reach safety levels.
