reduce overall health risk to the consumer. The symposium
identified several important and unique considerations
for applying risk-based decision making to mycotoxin
mitigation, particularly in developing nations. Public-private
partnerships will play an important role in successfully
reducing the public health impacts of dietary exposure to
mycotoxins on a global scale.
