  1. All mycotoxins analysed were below the detectable levels: Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1and G2(< 1 μg/kg); Fumonisin B1(< 125 μg/kg) and Fumonisin B2(< 50 μg/kg) Deoxynivalenol (< 75.0 μg/kg), HT-2 Toxin (< 4.0 μg/kg), T-2 Toxin (< 4.0 μg/kg), Zearalenone (< 10.0 μg/kg) and Ochratoxin A (< 1.0 μg/kg)
  2. aThese values were log-transformed
