Synopsis (short abstract) This publication is an offshoot of the Regional Training Course on Mycotoxin Prevention and Control in Foodgrains sponsored by the Bangkok-based UNDP/FAO Regional Network for Inter-Country Cooperation on Postharvest Technology and Quality Control of FoodGrains (REGNET) and the ASEAN Grain Postharvest Programme (AGPP). The course was held in Thailand 31 July-12 August 1989 and was conducted by the Plant Protection and Microbiology Division of the Department of Agriculture of Thailand. As part o f their objectives, REGNET and AGPP are mandated to organise short-term training courses on grain postharvest technology. These courses are designed for postharvest research and development technologists in the Asian and ASEAN regions. This book therefore serves as a training reference manual. Our intended users included the following: a) those who would be planning and conducting similar training courses; b) research and development technologists, and policy makers, who may use the informatio n for research, extension and policy-generating activities; and c) students, who can use the manual as a text reference. The manual contains the text of lectures and laboratory exercises presented by the resource speakers in the training course. In addition, country reports from the course participants and other selected relevant materials are included as references.

    Manual on the application of the HACCP System in Mycotoxin prevention and control 2003
    Also available in:
    The manual is meant to provide guidance on the application of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point approach to the prevention and control of mycotoxin contamination of foods and feed. After a brief introduction on the nature of mycotoxins and their effects on human and animal health, the document describes the HACCP system, as defined by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, and takes the reader through a series of illustrative examples (six) which show how the HACCP approach can be applied to prevent and control mycotoxin contamination. The examples include: Yellow maize kernals; maize-based animal feed; copra cake and meal; commercially produced peanut butter; apple juice; and pistachio nuts.

    Brazil successfully reduced fumonisin levels in maize by implementing the Codex Code of practice for the prevention and reduction of mycotoxin contamination in cereals, resulting in significant improvements in food safety and maize export quality and value. Brazil became the third–largest producer and second–largest exporter of maize worldwide. The case study attributes this to the establishment of national maximum levels and the utilization of the code of practice to support them.
