Mycotoxins are toxic products secreted by microscopic fungi. They can contaminate products of vegetal origin consumed by humans and cattle, therefore secondary by humans. The most important mycotoxins are aflatoxins, hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic, and ochratoxins, nephrotoxic and nephrocarcinogenic. The maximal authorized limits of aflatoxin contents in human and animal food-stuffs are very low (few microg/kg or fractions of microg/kg).
霉菌毒素是由微小真菌分泌的有毒产物。它们会污染人类和牲畜食用的植物源性产品，进而被人类间接摄入。最重要的霉菌毒素是具有肝毒性和致癌性的黄曲霉毒素，以及具有肾毒性和致癌性的赭曲霉毒素。人类和动物食品中黄曲霉毒素含量的最大允许限量非常低（几微克/千克或微克/千克的几分之一）。
