Oat, barley, wheat, and corn-derived supplement ingredients are high-risk for Fusarium mycotoxins. Full panel testing including DON, fumonisins, ZEA, and aflatoxins.
Fusarium molds produce DON, fumonisins, and zearalenone in cereal crops. These toxins are heat-stable and survive ingredient processing.
Deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin) is the most common mycotoxin in oat and wheat products, with EU limits as low as 750 ppb.
Fumonisin B1 and B2 are prevalent in corn-based ingredients and linked to FDA/EU compliance requirements for cereal products.
Zearalenone has estrogenic activity. EU limits for ZEA in cereal products are 100–400 ppb depending on product type.
We report against FDA guidance levels, EU Regulation 1881/2006 limits, and Codex Alimentarius thresholds.
All major grain-relevant mycotoxins in one submission.
Submitting takes less than 5 minutes. Most projects turn around in 5–10 business days from sample receipt.
Fill out our sample intake form — sample type, quantity, and timeline. We confirm turnaround and quote within one business day.
We'll send submission instructions and our San Diego shipping address. Most samples ship ambient or cold depending on stability requirements.
Results are delivered as a signed PDF COA within the agreed turnaround. Rush service (2–3 business days) available for urgent timelines.
FDA guidance level for DON is 1 ppm (1,000 ppb) for finished cereal products. EU limits are stricter at 750 ppb for most cereal-based foods.
DON and fumonisins are relatively heat-stable. Processing (grinding, cooking, extrusion) can reduce levels by 30–70% but does not eliminate mycotoxins. Testing finished product is essential.
Yes. Our method can be validated for alternative grains and pseudo-cereals. Contact us to discuss your specific matrix.
Submit your samples and receive an ISO 17025 accreditation pending Certificate of Analysis. Results in 5–10 business days.
