Introduction Edible insects are consumed by over 3,000 ethnic groups, with 2,205 species documented as food in 128 countries, yet evidence on fungal contamination, mycotoxins and allergen-related risks remains limited. This study assessed these hazards in edible insects and insect-fortified complementary foods for infa...

Deoxynivalenol (DON), a prevalent mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp., represents a persistent threat to global food and feed safety. Two innovative strategies were developed herein for efficient DON detoxification. Coupling the genes encoding the aldo-keto reductase AKR13B2 and the pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent D...

Mycotoxins threaten food safety, public health, and trade in Africa, where cereals are staple foods largely produced and consumed through informal systems. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on pre- and post-harvest mycotoxin management in African cereal systems and translates it into an integrated adaptive frame...

Mycotoxin exposure is a major public health concern in Africa due to food insecurity that compromises food safety. Infants and young children are highly vulnerable due to immature immunity and higher food intake per body weight. However, data on mycotoxin exposure in Africa remain limited. This study investigated mycot...
