🌦️Climate change and Mycotoxins

Changes in temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns also influence the growth of toxin-producing fungi. Crops such as maize, wheat, rice, nuts, and animal feed are becoming increasingly vulnerable to contamination by mycotoxins including aflatoxins, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol (DON), ochratoxin A, and zearalenone.

As farmers and food producers adapt to changing climatic conditions, some adaptation measures may introduce new food safety considerations.

Effective adaptation therefore depends not only on maintaining food production but also on ensuring that food remains safe for consumers.

Continuous mycotoxin testing with Merieux Nutrisciences is the ultimate safeguard for your operations.

Mycotoxins like Aflatoxin and Fumonisins are carcinogens that threaten both human health and livestock productivity.

Even without obvious symptoms, long-term exposure risks kidney, gut, and immune damage. The exposure pathway doesn't end at the production lines.🐄🌾

Protect your operations, your consumers, and your bottom line through routine, continuous testing.

🤯🔍Did you know that mycotoxins can be present in your grain, maize, or peanuts even when they look perfectly healthy?

In South Africa, commodities like maize, wheat, and peanuts face a very real and frequent mycotoxin challenge. Aflatoxins and Fumonisins are classified as "very frequent" in our region, and with our changing climate, the risk is only growing.

As your food manufacturing business navigates these realities, you shouldn't have to face them alone. Let us work alongside your team to help you understand what's in your product before it becomes a problem.

Prioritise proactive mycotoxin testing.

🥤Transitioning to SANS 241:2025 shifts food industry and agricultural water management from basic compliance to a proactive Water Quality Management System (WQMS).

Key Requirements:
▪️Bi-Annual Risk Assessments: Implement a formal Water Safety Plan (WSP) with risk assessments conducted at least twice yearly to identify facility-specific hazards.

▪️Point-of-Consumption Testing: Verify safety directly at internal taps and production line nozzles—not just at the municipal supply boundary.

▪️Targeted Parameter Monitoring: Maintain zero tolerance for pathogens (E. coli), track disinfectant residuals (Free Chlorine ≥ 0.10 mg/L), and screen groundwater/boreholes for organics and corrosion risks.

▪️Storage & Site Protocols: Run annual baseline screenings and set localized cleaning and testing schedules for on-site water storage reservoirs.

These shifts necessitate a more controlled and planned testing schedule as well as audits, and consultations from Expert Partners to guide you on SANS 241-2025 Ed.7 compliance.
