2013 European aflatoxin contamination
In February–March 2013 several European countries, including Romania,〔(Romanian authorities recall aflatoxin-tainted milk from market | ACTMedia )〕 Serbia,〔(B92 - News - Aflatoxin regulations to be harmonized with EU standards )〕〔(Balkan States to Step Up Food Control on Aflatoxin Scare - Bloomberg )〕 Croatia〔(Reports of cancer-causing toxin in milk triggers health scare in the Balkans )〕〔(Serbian dairy farmers dump milk in streets in protest - NZweek )〕 reported nationwide contamination of milk for human consumption (and possibly of derivative products) with aflatoxins. The details are still scarce.
It was reported in March that feed originating from Serbia and imported in the Netherlands and Germany was contaminated.〔(AllAboutFeed - EU: Feed contaminated with Aflatoxin )〕 It was also reported in March that tests revealed contamination in milk produced by two Dutch farms.〔(DutchNews.nl - Second tanker of contaminated milk found )〕〔(Aflatoxin detected in milk from two Dutch dairy farmer - People's Daily Online )〕 Milk in Germany was also tested but insofar reported as not tainted.〔(Germany tests milk in carcinogen scare | World news | guardian.co.uk )〕 Nevertheless, Russia announced it would ban imports from the German farms that received contaminated feed.〔(Russia bans imports from some German companies )〕 On March 20, Romanian farmers dumped milk in protest after the government banned milk from five farms, which remain unnamed.〔http://en.europeonline-magazine.eu/romanian-farmers-spill-milk-in-protest-at-aflatoxin-ban_271672.html〕 Danone Romania also withdrew some 75 tons of milk products from the shelves.〔http://www.tvi24.iol.pt/503/internacional/danone-retira-do-mercado-cancro-produtos-lacteos-aflatoxina-tvi24/1430663-4073.html〕〔http://www.romania-insider.com/testing-on-danone-products-in-romania-shows-safe-for-consumption-after-milk-toxin-scare/77881/〕
The European Commissions' Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) has reported 10 notifications of aflatoxin B1 in maize of European origin since the last maize harvest in autumn 2012. In the 10 years prior to the last harvest—between 2001 and 2011—a total of nine cases of aflatoxins were reported in maize. Aflatoxins have been mainly an "import problem" up to now. However, global warming is increasingly affecting the mycotoxin map in Europe, producing "tropical toxins" within Europe's borders.〔( Aflatoxins Pose New Risk to European Maize Production )〕
In Serbia the contamination turned into a political scandal after the government raised the internal milk contamination standards to tenfold of those from the EU.〔(Milch-Skandal: Grenzwerte erhöht, Problem gelöst | Wissen | ZEIT ONLINE )〕 This higher limit however is the one practiced in the United States and two-thirds of the world.〔(Futtermittel-Skandal: So gefährlich ist das Schimmelpilz-Gift - Gesundheit | STERN.DE )〕〔(Serbian Scandal Highlights Fungal Poison Danger )〕
On February 22, The Iowa Department of Agriculture found elevated Aflatoxin concentrations in dog food manufactured at a Pro-Pet facility in Kansas City, KS. The corn component of the dog food was reportedly contaminated with aflatoxins, though the contributing corn load passed screening at the facility.〔(Dog food recall underscores toxic danger in drought-hit U.S. corn | Reuters )〕〔(Hy-Vee issues recall of several dog food products due to aflatoxin - The Global Dispatch )〕 There are no reports of milk infestation in Iowa.〔http://www.radioiowa.com/2013/03/04/testing-for-aflatoxin-in-milk-ends/〕
