According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Mycotoxins are toxic compounds that are naturally produced by certain types of moulds (fungi). Moulds that can produce mycotoxins grow on numerous foodstuffs such as cereals, dried fruits, nuts, and spices. Mould growth can occur either before or after harvest; during storage; on/in the food itself often under warm, damp, and humid conditions. Most mycotoxins are chemically stable and survive food processing”.
