Fumonisins (FUM) are potent fungal toxins formed after crops are exposed to drought stress followed by warm, wet weather conditions. These toxins are known to promote tumors and cause liver diseases in both humans and animals. The primary groups of fumonisins – FB1, FB2, and FB3 – are commonly found in corn, rice, sorghum, and barley. To prevent contamination, it is recommended to harvest grain without kernel damage and store them under moisture levels below 14%. To protect consumers from the harmful effects of fumonisin intake, most countries have established regulations with maximum levels set for many agricultural commodities such as grains, grain by-products, and feeds. Romer Labs is a leader in the field, with over 40 years of experience, offering an extensive portfolio of comprehensive fumonisin testing solutions.
