What is the issue with mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins are toxins produced by certain fungi, such as moulds, which can contaminate crops, animal feed and finished food products.

Their presence in the food chain can have devastating effects on human and animal health, ranging from gastrointestinal disorders to developmental problems and even cancer in the most severe cases.

The Phytocontrol solution

Phytocontrol has implemented several specific methods, adapting the complex extraction protocols required for single or multi-mycotoxin analysis using state-of-the-art ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC/MS/MS).

We are thus able to search for and quantify all mycotoxins regulated under European legislation (EU 2023/915, EU 401/2006 and EU 2002/32), as well as certain secondary mycotoxins, and to inform you on the compliance of the batches submitted for analysis.
