Preliminary evaluation of fumonisins by the Nordic countries and occurrence of fumonisins (FB1 and FB2) in corn – based foods on the Danish market.

The presence of FB1 and FB2 in corn based food on the Danish retail  market was surveyed. A total of 70 samples were analysed and 37%  contained FB1 and 21%contained FB2. No fumonisins were found in sweet corn (canned or frozen), corn – on – the – cob, corn stach or gruel powder for babies. FB1 was found in about half of the corn flakes, corn snack and popcorn samples, whereas FB2 was seen to a lesser extent. Both FB1 and FB2 were found in 75% or more of the corn flour, tacos and polenta samples. In general, the content of FB1 was in the range 1 – 1000mg/kg and the content of FB2 was in the range 4 – 250mg/kg.
