The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence and levels of aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in cereal-based baby foods as well as to calculate the estimated daily intakes (EDI) in different stages of infancy. Sixty samples of infant cereals (wheat-, corn-, rice-, oat-, and mixed grain-based) were collected during a 2-year period and analyzed by validated methods. Aflatoxins were detected in 12 samples (20%), six of which exceeded the EU maximum level for aflatoxin B1 set at 0.10 ¬µg/kg. Deoxynivalenol appeared in 20% of baby food samples, with one sample exceeding the EU maximum level established at 200 ¬µg/kg. There were no significant differences between gluten-free products for babies aged 4‚Ū6 months and multi-cereal products for infants aged 7‚Ū12 months, nor between whole-grain-based and refined ingredients. However, baby food products of organic origin showed significantly higher levels of deoxynivalenol than conventional ones (p < 0.05). It is proposed for the health protection of infants and young children, a vulnerable group, to establish the lowest maximum level for the sum of aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) in baby food. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/A06-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2015CIE-03 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.531 2019 TOXICOLOGY 21 / 92 = 0.228 2019 Q1 T1 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 34 / 139 = 0.245 2019 Q1 T1 1.034 2019 Toxicology 2019 Q1 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2019 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bervis, Noemi Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9798-1268 Carramiñana, Juan José Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3320-9295 Juan, Teresa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4985-298X Herrera, Antonio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7195-3640 Ariño, Agustín Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6325-7100 Lorán, Susana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1961-8551 2008 640 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
