Evaluation of the status of occurrence of mycotoxins in South

African maize from all the production regions

Accumulation of reliable analytical data to establish a

database on the situation in South Africa to enable the maize

industry to comment on proposed maximum allowable levels

Supply reliable data as basis for targeted research projects

to effectively manage the mycotoxin levels in maize

300 – 400 chemical toxins produced by fungi in food crops

Mycotoxins form through fungal growth during the pre- and

post – harvest period

Formation dependent on environmental conditions that

stress the plant:

drought, temperature, nitrogen deficiency, insect damage

Contaminate human food and animal feed

Toxicity of most mycotoxins not yet known but can be acute

or chronic: Aflatoxin B1 classified as carcinogenic

Regulations worldwide are different

Different maximum allowable levels for different mycotoxins

and commodities

PER PROVINCECONCLUSIONS

This mycotoxin survey gives for the first time a representative South Africanperspective on the occurrence and concentration levels of South Africa’s annualcommercial maize crop.

The 2013/2014 average concentration levels of FUM (451 µg/kg) and DON(372 µg/kg) in SA commercial maize are 6 fold lower than the averageconcentrations reported in maize in the 2014 Biomin Mycotoxin Survey

The FUM and DON levels pose a relatively low risk when compared to themaximum allowable levels for DON and FUM in feeding stuff for animal feedand the proposed levels for human consumption but the allowable levels forfumonisin may change in future as more scientific research results becomeavailable on the fumonisin risk to animal health.
