Mycotoxins contamination of food in Thailand (2000-2010): Food safety concerns for the world food exporter
2015
Songsermsakul, P.
Mycotoxins contaminate both raw agricultural commodities and processed food. As the world food exporter, Thailand has to be aware of food safety. Both international and local publications of major mycotoxins contamination of food in Thailand published from 2000-2010 were reviewed. A wide range of contamination levels were found. In Thailand, regulatory limit has been set only for aflatoxins. Global harmonization of mycotoxins regulation is rather impractical. It would be unfair to export the premium grade products but food-producing people have to consume contaminated food. Food surveillance system should be implemented. Analysis of mycotoxins in food should be performed with validated method. Health risk from mycotoxin exposure should not be overlooked.
