ISO 17025 accreditation pending mycotoxin screening for dietary supplement brands. Aflatoxin B1/B2/G1/G2 and Ochratoxin A by LC-MS/MS — required for Amazon FBA botanical listings and FDA compliance.
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by molds that infest crops during growth, harvest, or storage. Botanical supplement ingredients sourced from warm, humid regions — particularly Asia, Africa, and South America — are at highest risk.
Aflatoxin B1 is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It is the most potent naturally occurring carcinogen. Contaminated supplements do not look, smell, or taste different — you cannot detect mycotoxin contamination without laboratory testing.
A single contaminated ingredient lot, undetected, can trigger an FDA recall, Amazon listing removal, and significant consumer liability.
FDA action limit for total aflatoxins in most foods
EU limit for aflatoxin B1 in food products
These ingredients have documented high mycotoxin contamination rates in peer-reviewed literature and FDA survey data:
Five mycotoxins detected simultaneously in a single LC-MS/MS run. Results reported as individual analytes plus total aflatoxins.
Amazon's 2026 supplement testing requirements include mycotoxin screening for products containing botanical ingredients with known aflatoxin risk. Ashwagandha, turmeric, ginger, and dozens of other common supplement ingredients are in scope. TIC providers are increasingly rejecting COA submissions that don't include mycotoxin data for botanical products.
Prodigy Labs is the only ISO 17025 accreditation pending laboratory in San Diego offering mycotoxin testing for dietary supplements — and our results are accepted by all major Amazon-approved TIC providers.

Mycotoxins run in-house on our Sciex 4500 triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer — the same platform used by Eurofins and other Tier 1 labs. No send-out, no extended turnaround, no black box.
For Amazon FBA sellers, mycotoxin testing is most efficient combined with our pesticide residue panel and potency testing in a single submission. One COA covers everything your TIC provider needs.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds that contaminate botanical raw materials. Aflatoxin B1 is the most potent naturally occurring carcinogen. Supplement brands need mycotoxin testing because Amazon requires it for high-risk botanicals, the FDA can take enforcement action, and brands carry product liability for contaminated products.
We test for five mycotoxins in a single LC-MS/MS run: Aflatoxin B1, Aflatoxin B2, Aflatoxin G1, Aflatoxin G2, and Ochratoxin A. Total aflatoxins (B1+B2+G1+G2) are also reported — this combined figure is what FDA and EU regulations regulate.
Yes, for high-risk botanical categories. Amazon's 2026 requirements include mycotoxin screening for products containing botanical ingredients with known aflatoxin risk — including ashwagandha, ginger, turmeric, and many other common herbs. TIC providers are increasingly recommending mycotoxin data for all botanical submissions.
Yes, as of 2026. ILS Labs — the largest testing lab competitor in the area — does not offer mycotoxin testing. National labs like Eurofins can perform mycotoxin testing but with significantly longer turnaround times and no local support.
5–7 business days for standalone mycotoxin testing. When bundled with our full Amazon-Ready COA package (potency, pesticides, heavy metals, microbiology), TAT is 7–10 business days. Rush processing available on select panels.
We typically require 5–10 grams of product for mycotoxin analysis. We recommend shipping at least 20 grams to allow for reruns if needed. Contact us for matrix-specific requirements — liquid supplements and softgels have slightly different sample volume needs.
