Occurrence and bioaccessible fractions of mycotoxins in infant formulas, fruit puree and cereal baby foods: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mycotoxins, toxic fungal secondary metabolites, pose significant health risks due to their widespread presence in foodstuffs, particularly impacting children through contaminated infant foods. Regulatory assessments often overlook the unique physiological vulnerabilities of children. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes mycotoxin bioaccessibility in infant food products.
