This report is an analysis of the current state of domestic knowledge regarding mycotoxins in food in Iceland, particularly in cereals. Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain fungi and represent a serious threat to food safety due to their harmful effects on human health. Mycotoxins can also harm animals and reduce productivity in livestock production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very limited data are available on mycotoxins in domestic cereals. Most results indicate that no, or only few, mycotoxins are detectable in Icelandic grain. Mycotoxins have been detected during monitoring of imported feed, usually at very low levels if present. Human exposure to mycotoxins in Iceland has been assessed through measurements in urine. The results showed that Icelanders were exposed to mycotoxins at levels comparable to findings in other European countries, although values for one mycotoxin were lower in Iceland than elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Climatic changes are expected in Iceland in the coming years. Such changes are likely to affect fungal growth in cereal fields and the potential formation of mycotoxins. Moreover, plans exist to increase cereal cultivation in Iceland. In light of this, it is of great importance to conduct research on the formation of mycotoxins under Icelandic conditions in order to ensure the safety of cereals, both for livestock feed and human consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Information is lacking on the impact of environmental conditions on mycotoxin formation in Iceland. Research is needed on the composition of fungal communities in cereals in the field and during storage. It is also essential to determine how Icelandic environmental conditions influence the formation of these compounds. Such knowledge would enable the targeted use of fungicides and help to avoid unnecessary applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monitoring of mycotoxins in Iceland is still too limited. Annual monitoring of mycotoxins in cereals should already be implemented, given the increasing emphasis on domestic cereal production.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
