Ochratoxin A: Health Importance and Where It Occurs

The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified ochratoxin A as a possible human carcinogen.

The fact that ochratoxin A is detected in blood plasma, blood and urine and can even occur in breast milk suggests that consumers are continuously exposed to ochratoxin A through plant and animal foods.

Ochratoxins are formed by typical storage fungi.

Ochratoxins are found worldwide and occur in a variety of plant and animal foods.

After a fungal infestation, they can be formed

mainly in various cereals such as

rice, barley, oats and wheat

, but also in many types of fruit and vegetables (e.g. in

 grapes and figs ).

Also processed products like

Wine, fruit and vegetable juices and beer

can contain ochratoxins.

In addition, ochratoxins are found in

fruit spices

(mustard, pepper, paprika),

coffee, cocoa

and their processed products (e.g. in chocolate).

Occurrence of ochratoxins in

nuts

(pistachios, chestnuts),

tea, herbal supplements

and animal products (e.g. liver, kidney, ham) has also been reported.
