The presence of mycotoxins in food is an important factor that determines its safety. Food safety in Serbia is defined and encompassed by the Food Safety Law. On the basis of this law, a set of rules were adopted defining the maximum permitted quantities of mycotoxins in various foodstuffs and animal feeds. Also, these rules define monitoring programs that include the control of mycotoxins in milk and animal feed. The law determines competencies in controlling different foods at different stages of production and trade. Official laboratories for the control of mycotoxins have to be accredited according to SRPS ISO 17025 standard, while development of the rules on laboratory authorization is in progress. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feedingstuffs is covered by the said Law as well as the relevant Regulations, but the data are not available. Further improvement and harmonization of legislation on the control of mycotoxins and food safety with European requirements is necessary for the protection of human and animal health, but also for the smooth and faster economic development of agriculture and food production in Serbia.
