A limited survey of aflatoxins and fumonisins in retail maize-based products in the UK using immunoassay detection.

A total of 27 maize based products destined for human consumption were collected from retail outlets in Glasgow, UK, and were analysed for the presence of aflatoxins using immunoaffinity column chromatography with fluorescence detection and for fumonisins by competitive ELISA. Aflatoxins were detected at trace levels (<4 mg/kg). Fumonisins were detected in 8/27 samples at levels from 1-8 mg/kg and a further 8 samples contained fumonisins at detectable levels (<1 mg/kg.)
