Table 1: The maximum permissible levels (MPL) in parts per billion for aflatoxin B1 for food- and feedstuffs in South Africa Table 2: The maximum permissible levels in parts per billion for fumonisin and deoxynivalenol in the regulation of contamination. Table 3: The maximum permissible levels in parts per billion for fumonisin B1, deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin A, zearalenone and ergot alkaloids in the regulation of contamination . What are the regulations in South Africa? Aflatoxin is the most regulated mycotoxin worldwide due to its carcinogenic properties and negative effect on the health of humans and animals. Many countries issue legal limits only with regard to aflatoxins for foodstuffs (including food crops), but some have also included fumonisin & deoxynivalenol limits for crops intended for human consumption. The maximum permissible levels (MPL) in parts per billion (ppb = µg/kg) for aflatoxin B1 for food- and feedstuffs in South Africa is shown in the table below.
