The main object in this work was to make a risk assessment of some selected fusarium toxins. A review of the available toxicological data of the selected toxins have been made and temporary tolerable daily intakes (tTDIs) have been established. The risk assessments presented include estimations of the dietary intakes in the Nordic countries. Short reviews on fusarenon-X, fusarin C, diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) and moniliformin were also made. The report also contains a brief introduction to the classification of Fusarium and toxin production by the fungi as well as a review of chemicals analytic methods for determination of the different toxins.
