Article Synopsis
- Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a harmful mycotoxin found in food, particularly in coffee, and poses potential health risks to humans, especially in Indonesia.
- Indonesia faces challenges in controlling OTA contamination in coffee due to favorable fungal growth conditions and poor food safety practices.
- The study uses the Margin of Exposure (MOE) approach to assess the risk of OTA exposure from coffee, finding that many provinces in Indonesia have concerningly low MOE values, highlighting the need for better food safety management in coffee production.
