| New protocols for managing
mycotoxins in Australian maize
The Maize Association of Australia recently
commissioned the development of protocols for the management of
mycotoxins.
The purpose was to enhance the reputation
for quality of Australian maize and to better meet the needs of end
users.
A summary is as follows.
-
Determine requirements of end-users, or
importers and the importing country.
-
Identify maize from crops with low risk
of aflatoxin / other mycotoxins.
-
Check that crop is harvested and stored
in good conditions.
-
Specify and monitor transport / shipping
conditions.
-
Oversee protocol for handover of
shipment to client
