To survey the occurrence of mycotoxins in post-market foods, the annual monitoring plan prioritizes sampling and inspection of foods with high failure rates, high consumption, and high public concern; the other food categories with sanitation standards were sampled on a rotating basis. In 2023, a total of 676 food samples were collected and tested, and the compliance rate of 93.4% (633/676) was lower than that of 2022 at 95.3%. The non-compliance rate was highest at 12.5% (5/40) for red yeast rice products, followed by 11.7% (33/282) for peanut products, 5.1% (2/39) for quinoa and pearl barley, 3.3% (1/30) for spices; and 4.0% (2/50) for the other categories of foods. All samples of rice, wheat, corn, beans, coffee, milk, and infant foods tested were found to be in compliance. Among the non-compliant mycotoxin items, aflatoxin was most common and found in 26 cases, followed by 22 cases of ochratoxin A and 5 cases of citrinin. Ninety-three percent of non-compliant products were manufactured domestically, while one lotus seeds and one quinoa sample were imported which accounted for 7%. In the breakdown of peanut products, peanut flour had the highest failure rate at 22.4%, followed by peanut candy at 6.7%, peanut butter at 3.9%, and prepared peanut kernels at 3.8%. The failure rate of peanut flour products sampled from end-use sites, including catering or baking industries, was higher than those sampled from manufacturing sites and sales sites. |
