Analysis of 18 corn grain samples allowed detecting in three of them significant exceedances of the maximum allowable T 2 level of toxin (Technical Regulations of the Customs Union of 09.12.2011 TR TS 015/2011 On Grain Safety). T-2 toxin is a mycotoxin produced by mold fungi of the genus Fusarium, extremely toxic. As a result of the use of moldy grain or flour, poisoning of a person or farm animals occurs.
